Itchy skin five weeks post treatment

Hi willow

yes i had itchy skin it does get better in time I still get episodes of it which drives me mad I just wash with cool water seems to take it away or I use instagel or lidocaine cream to numb the area to give relief. 
im 8 months post treatment and still have issues with sore skin itching and fissures.

i hope you recover well. 

Thanks Muzzie hadnt thought of Lidocaine! I am trying Eurax cream tonight. 

Anything is worth a try and to stay cool helps I’ve slept many a night with bum out of bed 

good luck hopefully a good night for you 

Hi

I used bepanthen on my bottom itchy area.. its a nappy cream and I swear by it.. I hope it helps and u get some relief soon x 

Thanks Squeak. not thought of that!!! On it!

Thanks I get some myself to try

Hello Willow26 

You have had some really good suggestions, I hope that one of these works.  The only thing worse than itching is itching in bed at night, you have my sympathy!

So pleased that you are doing well.

Hi Willow26 , you’re doing everything right, I would try going down the nappy rash cream route, bepanthen, sudocrem etc., my colorectal surgeon said that the new skin that forms following this treatment is like baby skin, mine was quite rashy pretty often & this still happens from time to time, sudocrem always helps.

I hope you find something that offers you some relief soon.

 Squeak. You are my hero!!!!!! Bepanthen has fixed it! No itch, no rash and more sleep. HUGE thanks. I used it on my children so my Husband also finds this hilarious and says "Ceem on!" - like we used to say to our babies. A little bit of joy on this journey....x

Im so pleased its helped.. 

Each win makes u stronger xx

Onwards and upwards x
