I recently noticed this hard lump around my rectum, and its got me really worried. I've heard about Anovate hemorroid cream and was wondering how effective it is in dealing with this kind of issue? Also, how should I use it to get the best results? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Anovate cream will help in reducing pain, itching, and inflammation associated with hemorrhoids. It will also help in shrinking the swollen tissues. However, if you feel a hard flesh over your rectum, it is important to have a proper examination by a doctor to rule out any other underlying conditions. Remember to maintain good hygiene, eat a high-fiber diet, and drink plenty of water to help with your condition.

I've been applying Smuth cream for my piles as prescribed, and it's been helping to reduce the size. But now, I've started experiencing really itchy sensations around my anus and the area beneath my scrotum. It's gotten to the point where I can't stop scratching, and now there's this flaky, dry skin developing and peeling off when I do. The doctor suggested I try a sitz bath, but I'm just wondering if there's anything else I should be doing or if this is something to be concerned about? Its really uncomfortable, so any advice would be appreciated.
