What is Anusol cream?
Anusol cream is a treatment for piles or haemorrhoids which can be used to help relieve symptoms of swelling, itching, or irritation. You can use Anusol cream for both internal and external piles, meaning you’re protected whenever you need it most.
What are piles (also known as haemorrhoids)?
Piles, or haemorrhoids, are swellings that occur inside or around your anus which contain enlarged blood vessels. They usually don’t cause any pain but they can be itchy and may cause redness or swelling around your anus. You may also notice bleeding after a bowel movement or a lump which hangs outside of your anus and needs to be pushed back in after you’ve been to the bathroom.
How will Anusol cream treat my piles or haemorrhoids?
Anusol cream contains three active ingredients which work together to treat piles. The first is Zinc oxide, this works as an antiseptic which helps to reduce bacterial growth in the affected area and helps to reduce swelling. Next, we have Balsam Peru, another mild antiseptic which helps to protect your sore areas. Finally, there’s Bismuth oxide, an astringent and antiseptic which protects raw and irritated areas around your anus.
