A member asked:
Is it safe to use hydrocortisone 1% on the anus once - twice daily? without weakening/thinning skin? i have hemorrhoids
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would not: that's for external usage. anoderm and hemorrhoids are not exactly external. and chronic usage can thin out the skin. use a prep for hemorrhoids.
