Brief Answer:
Pls share cream name

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. If you don't mind please do share the name of the cream with me so I can comment on whether it will be effective or not and whether the rash could be a side effect of the cream itself.

Common effective hemorrhoid creams contain petrolatum and phenylephrine (eg. Preparation H cream). If your cream contains these, then it should be effective in reducing swelling, pain, and helping you feel comfortable once again.

I hope this helps. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am here to help.

Best wishes.

Brief Answer:
Unfortunately a skin rash is a very common side effect of proctosol-H

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again sir.

Yes sir, a skin rash is a very common side effect of the cream proctosol-H. You can speak to your doctor to change the prescription if you wish to do so, or just visit a pharmacist who can easily provide you with a suitable alternative with the least or absent undesired side effects sir.

Best wishes.
