What can I do if I get a burn when I apply the Anusol?

Hello,

To help me answer your question:

Did you get an answer to your question?

Anusol plus (blue tube) contains lidocaine which is an ingredient that often causes allergic reactions on the skin. This ingredient is not found in the regular Anusol (red tube) or Preparation H ointment or cream. If your hemorrhoids are very swollen, you may want to try Preparation H Gel (with PE) which contains a vasoconstrictor ingredient that helps to relieve swelling.

Hope to see you soon,

Sarah-Yan Chagnon, pharmacist
