Hi there OMB- only just caught this thread - - how do you think I chose my name ? Anoheal made me itch like crazy and it wasn't until the second tube! In my case the brand and product of the second tube were exactly the same. I think it does say itching is a possible side effect on the info in the box. Little did I realise how bad it could be- the pain was preferable to the itching.
I got it sorted out when I saw my CRS he said I had a chronically inflammed anus and prescribed an anti fungal and cortisone cream called Daktacourt which he said I should use for 6 weeks twice a day. But blessed relief! I was better within a couple of weeks and my bum is now itch free. My AF is still there and I'm using nitro which I found very difficult to start off with because of the headaches but I just use a pea size amount 3 times a day now and it hardly affects me at all - my head just gets a bit heavy. I think you can get used to it. I would be surprised if it healed my chronic fissure ( surgery looms)- although I 'm always hopeful, but nitro really stops it hurting. Maybe you could give the nitro another try only using a small amount and then try to build it up slowly. Hope you get your itching sorted out - I'm there with you ... it ain't funny, not funny at all.
