So I've only had this maybe 4 or 5 times, but every so often I get this weird thing where I need to keep going in one day... but it's not particularly loose or anything, seems quite normal. Don't know how common this is. But it starts to hurt after a while! I assume you can't use lotions etc down there, what can I use?

Sometimes even if you get the stool consistency pretty normal you can can still have frequency issues. Often the rectum won't wait until it really is full before doing the "gotta go" thing.Any of the baby ointments should be OK. I like A&D ointment but (butt?) there are several brands of things to put on a baby's behind. If they are safe for them they should be safe for adults.

Ah thank you.I did wonder about baby products... anything for them is normally safe.

I have used Proctosedyl ointment prescribed by my GP for piles,but it soothes bottom as well.Sudacream is quite good to.

I use a moisturizing tea tree oil based cream for cleaning me up and it has never caused any problems.Mark
