LMX 5 (lidocaine) "This cream works within a few minutes for pain from hemorrhoids. It is easy to use, a smaller than pea-sized dot of it is plenty and tends to burn slightly for a minute or less, then pain is gone. The only drawback is its effect doesn't last more than a couple of hours, and it says not to exceed six applications in a day. It is pricey, but it can be purchased without a prescription at any pharmacy. I suggest ordering before you need it because it usually has to be ordered, and the wait can be... painfully long. I bought it to use to prevent electrolysis pain, but I'm so glad I had it when I had a flare-up."

RectiCare (lidocaine) "Purchased RectiCare 5% lidocaine cream, have tried on hemorrhoid pain several times. This stuff does not work. There was absolutely not one smidgen of difference in the pain. Plus, this stuff is terribly expensive. WHAT A WASTE! I will keep it for bug bites, I guess. Hopefully, it will work better on them."

"Have some flare-ups of hemorrhoids, this stuff really works in minutes, a pea-sized amount smeared on the anus is all you need, no discomfort in minutes, it lasts for maybe an hour, but hey, I'm good all day after that one amount."

"I use lidocaine gel and it’s the only relief I get, the most important advise is not to scratch, when you feel pain or itch clean area, wait 15 seconds for itch to subside if it doesn't apply gel. Leave your bottom alone as much as possible."

LMX 5 (lidocaine) "This cream is the best for hemmies, as we call them in the doctor’s office I work in. I’ve used it off and on for 20 years when I have a flare, when constipation and pushing leave painful hemmies. Nothing is worse. A 30-gram tube will run $60, give or take. But it lasts quite a while. It has been the same price for 20 years. I’ve tried other brands, and they work. But something in this brand makes it last longer. This usually works for me: clean the area gently with toilet paper (TP) and witch hazel. Pat dry. Then apply a peanut-sized amount using TP. Repeat in 2-4 hours. Take Metamucil or stool softener daily, and BMs will be consistent and not hard. Avoid pushing hard with bowel motions. Use hot sitz baths as much as you can. Take an OTC pain reliever, and you’re good to go. Well, for the most part. I had surgery 20+ years ago, and it lasted maybe 4 years?"
