Comment:
I had an anal fissure and hemorroids so using the bathroom was also excruciatingly painful. This cream reduced my hemorrhoid to nothing in just one day. I applied the cream right before using the bathroom and did not feel any pain. I am so grateful for this cream, it works very well.

I read the reviews and saw this one as highly rated. It was $30 tax at CVS, but figured it would be more effective than Prep H or Tucks. I don't think so. It provided numbing relief right away.

Comment:
I had a thrombosed hemmiroid which was causing excrutiating pain. Doctor suggested i can bear the pain and wait for it to shrink or could get it surgically removed. I chose to bear the pain offcourse. I asked him if there was a cream I could apply to help. He suggested Recticare. By applying it a couple of times took away the pain completely. Thanks to which I became functional now.
