How it works
Hydrocortisone suppresses local inflammatory mediators in perianal tissue, reducing itch, redness, and swelling.
For short-term use only (no more than 7–14 days). Prolonged use causes perianal skin thinning. Not suitable for internal haemorrhoids. Does not treat the underlying venous condition.
Medical guidance
This remedy requires a prescription or pharmacist consultation in Australia. Speak to your GP or pharmacist before use.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
