Accepted Answer

: Anal tears are painful. Aspercreme Lidocaine can numb the area for a couple of hours at best. Depending on the cause, you need to change your habits. If constipation caused this, you need to focus on eating a diet high in fiber rich fruits, vegetables and lots of water and low in high fat foods.

Question 9

does aspercreme or neosporin relieve severe sunburn pain on feet?

Accepted Answer

Better Ideas: Sunburn is response of the tissues to injury from solar radiation. It is simply inflammation which means increase blood flow to the area to promote healing. Do not use ice as this can injure already injured skin. Cool water soaks can help as can taking anti-inflammation medicines like Motrin or advil (ibuprofen). Avoid any further damage as this can cause scarring . Good skin cream applied daily/gently helps.

Question 10

can you explain if it's safe to use aspercreme for menstrual cramps?

Accepted Answer

Aspercreme: Aspercreme  (Trolamine salicylate) is a topical that reduces swelling/  inflammation of muscle &amp; joints. I don't know of any contraindication with menstrual cramps but am not sure how effective it would be. I have read anecdotals of women who found it helped for this purpose.
