Hydrocortisone topical for Hemorrhoids "I have hemorrhoids as I suffer constipation due to my endometriosis, and I have tried all kinds of products for them. Many disappear on their own, but there is one in specific that makes me desperate. My boyfriend gave me this cream, and although I was skeptical, I tried it, and it's magical. The second time I used it, it eased the burning and pain. On the third day, all symptoms have completely disappeared. I feel like I finally found the perfect product."

Hydrocortisone topical for Hemorrhoids "Didn't do anything for me. Tried to work its way out before it completely dissolved. On day 4 of the treatment, I could no longer deal with the increased burning, pain, and itching that I experienced. Also had some change in my BMs while on these suppositories, with increased need to go, therefore increased wiping and increased irritation. Seemed to do the opposite of what it was supposed to do."

Hydrocortisone topical for Intertrigo "I get intertrigo a lot as an obese man. The two common places are under the breast and under the belly above my privates. Sometimes in the groin too a little. I use Cortizone-10 and it clears up within a day. I've had extremely bad rashes and applied it in the evening, and when I woke up the next morning, it was no longer hurting and started to heal. Now this is just my goto subtype but warning: it HURTS SO BAD! LOL I use the 'cooling gel' kind. And I dunno what it is about this kind, but it healed faster than ANY of the other kinds, but I guess because it's got the 'cooling' factors, it stings like crazy! No lie... I'll put it on and within seconds, I'm silently screaming and wishing I didn't do it. But I know it'll be healed within a day so I deal with it. It only hurts for a couple of minutes. But IMO, well worth the pain."

For Proctitis "The suppositories were a game changer for me starting in 2022. Terrible rectal pain. The suppositories rescued me. Cut to 2025: I agree, also, with those who could not tolerate the initial discomfort or found they stimulated bowel movements. I recently had that experience with a bad case of proctitis. On fire inside. But I went back to them after others, like Baclofen, failed. I endured one stingy day, and then the stuff started knocking down the pain and inflammation. There's nothing close."
