Hi! Prep H is a topical cream for use in hemorrhoids. However due to its astringent
, blood vessel constricting action it is put to quite a bit of 'off label use'. Your friend's case is an example. An ice pack is perfectly good remedy for an trauma induced swelling. Prep H could also reduce swelling but would a physician recommend it. I'd doubt that very much. All the best!
