A member asked:
Can you use external creams on internal hemorrhoid?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: Most prescription meds used to treat hemorrhoids can be used both internally and externally. I would be cautious of over the counter meds unless the label/instruction specifically approve for internal use.

Yes: Most come with an applicator to get the cream an inch or two inside the anus where internal hemorrhoids are located.
