"I've found Hydrocortisone to be ABSOLUTELY useless for anal itching. Though not perfect, a topical antibiotic and anesthetic (Lidocaine, etc.) was much better."

"Hydrocortisone doesn't solve anal itching. It did not actually help. Looking for alternative recommendations,"

"I am researching the PRESCRIPTION-strength suppository but I am having no luck on this site. I had the Rx but ran out. By the way, it is much better than the OTC variety. Also, I need it for itching or irritation, post-radiation therapy, not hemorrhoids, but there seems to be no category for that."
