I'm guessing that the title says it all. The soreness is, no surprise, related to a flare. All suggestions appreciated smile. Thanks!

Buy some Calmoseptine. It’s a staple for J-pouchers after their reconnection surgery - you get lots of frequency and butt sore a month or so after the surgery. Calmoseptine is a big help.

Honestly I never found a good solution to this problem. I'm English and I ordered Calmoseptine from the US especially, but I was a bit disappointed with it. It was soothing in the aftermath but it did not actually prevent the excruciating pain that comes from too liquid/acidic stool. That said, it did at least help with the burning afterwards and was definitely better than nothing.

Thanks everyone.

Ditto for Desitin. Zinc oxide relieves the irritation, also acts as a skin protectant, plus safe even for use on babies. / Old Hat (40+ yrs with left-sided UC; in remission taking Colazal)

I did not like calmoseptine at first because of its menthol component. But I much prefer it to desiring now because desitin is oily while calmoseptine and feels drier. It seems to stay put and last longer. IMO.

A&D ointment (for baby diaper rash). You can find it either near wet wipes or baby supplies.
