Can Bonjela Be Used Instead Of Anusol For Anal Itchiness?
Anal itching is causing much misery, especially at night. Creams like Anusol don t work. I am considering trying BONJELA to hopefully numb the area to prevent scratching which seems inevitable at the present. I would like to numb the area and hopefully give it a proper chance to heal.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your case history of anal itching, my treatment advice is - 1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-b cream twice daily on it. 3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetirizine twice daily for 7-10 days. 4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral steroid taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Harshit Bhachech
