Does anyone else suffer from intense scratching and redness? It’s driving me crazy, and I haven’t been able to sleep well.

Some people swear by Mayinglong cream, but the smell is a bit strong. Maybe antihistamines can help?

Surprised no one mentioned Witch Hazel. I use the wipes and they’re cool and soothing

Intense scratching, feeling if heat and redness are symptoms. Definitely sitz bath and hydrocortisone will help. But do meet colorectal surgeon and treat the cause by either medicine or surgery whatever doc says.

Has everyone here gotten the surgery or still dealing with it the best you can?
