A member asked:
I've had abscesses removed from my rectum about a year ago. my rectum is really itchy now. can i use cortisone cream or vagisil or antibiotic cream?

Yes.: If you do not have symptoms suggestive of recurrent abcess then warm compresses / warm baths for your bottom, tucks (witch hazel) or witch Hazel wipes and hydrocortisone cream can help you.
