which ones it more likely to soothe the anal area and promote healing?
im talking getting rid of the redness aswell'.

i was on steroid cream for 2 weeks but was told to stop it after 2 weeks as it can cause damage if used too much.
i can also feel the soreness and see the redness coming back after stopping it so i dont know what to do next.

NOT coconut oil, it does not work !!

Well the bio oil didn't do any harm. Was quite soothing I guess.

The aloe vera gel has flared the area up and now im in pain

Yes, I had that reaction to aloe Vera.... I was about to post and say!!

was it pure aloe vera, like nothing else in it except maybe vitamin e?

delete please

Hi msimon, who has had stapling? I don't see anything about it on this thread? It does sound brutal......

Weird. That was supposed to be posted to another thread! oops :)

Its one of those 99.9% pure aloe bottles.
But there seem to be a whole host of other strange looking ingredients.

I may well try buying an Aloe plant and have another go.

I reacted to aloe vera too. My actual cheek skin went red inflamed and rashy!!
