Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My prescription states that I can use the hydrocortisone acetate 2.5 per cent Pramoxine HCI 1 per cent cream 3 times a day. Should I only use following a bowel movement or should I use for example after a shower and before going to bed? Thank you. Richard A. Edwards
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Hydrocortisone cream should be applied after bowel movements and after bathing. You can also apply at bed time is pain in anal area is more. Drink plenty of fluids orally and avoid constipation. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
