A member asked:

It's okay to use my halcinonide cream to treat a hemorrhoid right?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Halcinonide Cream: Halcinonide Cream (Halog Cream) is a topical corticosteroid – so I assume it could help with swelling, itching & discomfort from hemorrhoids.
