Just was wondering if anyone uses anything on their butt.  I have skin tags adn they are swelling up bleeding and throbbing not sure if there is anything I can use on it to alleviate the discomfort?

I think my gut, butt and wrist arthritis are competing for top dog today =(

i find sometimes the good ol heating pad works on that throbing pain..Can you take any pain killers? tramadol(set) worked well for me.

Not sure if this will help the immediate throbbing, but might help them be less irritated going forward.

I have a skin tag and fissures in the past and I swear by Calmoseptine. It is very soothing and helps promote healing. Most pharmacies carry it. It is OTC but some pharmacies keep it behind the counter. Walgreens carries it in the aisle with the adult diapers.

I put it on after showers and at night as maintenance, but if I am having irritation I will put it on after each BM.

A nice warm bath always helps me when I'm having issues like that.

If a bath isn't accessible, a hold a warm washcloth down there for a few minutes. That helps too!

I've had fissures on and around my anal skin tags so I definitely feel your pain...sitz baths as often as you can throughout the day/eve with lots of epsom salts (walmart usually has the largest container and best price that I know of).

Also, after each sitz bath gently rub some extra virgin olive oil (please buy a bottle specifically to use on your body, not the one out of your pantry LOL)...I also find walmart sells EVOO the cheapest and in plastic bottles not just glass. The EVOO will make your tender anus feel much better and heal the fissures up as will the epsom salt baths quicker than not using anything at all.

Good luck and I hope you soon find relief!

Nupercanal works well for me.

I get relief from warm baths and from Calmoseptine, as above. Good luck!

hey dragonfly...hate those tags too!  Like others said...the warm bathes, sitz baths and I love the Calmoseptine.  I also find that my hand held shower on gentle setting with warm water works when a full bath is not practical.  I often jump in my shower after a BM rather than using TP or a wipe on the sore bottom...I've even gotten coordinated enough to be able to leave my top on and not get myself soaked despite it being just a small stall shower.

Also, do you wear any kind of liner in your pants?  I found that having those and keeping them fresh has helped a lot.  It also keeps any extra calmoseptine of the material so getting clothes clean becomes less of a concern

Cortate is great. It's a steroid cream. I find the ointments don't work as well.
And tylenol xstrength might help the throbbing.

The best remedy in the world is an amazing cream at every health food store called Egyptian Magic! I just dab some on my poor tush (with a bit of toilet paper) and wear a thin feminine hygene liner and go to sleep or do whatever. It really heals and soothes....totally natural, odor free and great for many other uses.

Make sure to tell your GI about this, maybe she/he can help...
I have had a few but surgeries and countless fissures and tags and whatever else in the bum department...so I can really relate.

for one, make sure you do not use standard TP, that can be horrid on a sore bum. Use only Wipes (you can get toddler wipes and prep H wipes...I use 2 toddler wipes to clean, and the prep H wipe for the final...just make sure on the packaging that they are septic and sewer safe).

Next you can use OTC cremes...even those to treat "diaper rash"...one thing with having crohn's is that you find yourself back in the baby aisle whether or not you have babies, but the products there tend to be mild and easy on irritated skin. You can also use steroid cremes as well(ie Prep H cremes) to get the inflammation/swelling down...

Now for the Dr. part...I have a few rx things. one is a lidocaine jelly (the aqueous stuff, NOT the oil based) works very well for getting pain down fast. Next my doctor rx's me a niphedipine/lidocaine type ointment that needs to be taken to a compounding pharmacy that works wonders.

I hope the advice everyone has given helps and you find relief soon...
