....my anal pain and it's severe is from ibs diarrhea and every other day; now i have it after a course of antibiotic; when on antibiotics you are not allowed to take anti diarrhea meds; anway, after c.diff 2018also hae fecal incontinence. ....so today passed about ten times fecal matter and anal area is so painful and this has been going on for years. difficult to discuss with friends and neighbours! as soon as i clean up or have a half shower, get dried and they suggested hair dryer on low; use some zinc ointment, or vaseline etc., and get redressed about half hour later have to go again and nothing stops it or it leaks out.... honestly, compared to other life threatening issues and my other medical issues this should be easily handled but it is not; and constant change of clothing and cloths... but really its the pain... like pouring lemon juice on cuts. not a nice subject to discuss but no cure as soon as use ointment, it is wiped off shortly after..... any ideas welcome.....

I’m so sorry you are suffering like that. I’m on this forum because I had a colon re-section. I’ve recovered really well. (I’m now on the breast cancer forum as I have been diagnosed with breast cancer recently.)
I had terrible haemorrhoids before the surgery and the cream I was given, and worked quite well is, proctosedyl. It is a Rx and has 5% cortisone, which helps reduce the swelling. Maybe you could ask your doctor to prescribe it. I am in Canada, I know that can make a difference to availability. I hope you can try it, it sounds like you’re dealing with something terrible.
You’ve basically described my life for the last six months, thank you for the description.
God bless your heart
I know this is an old thread but I wanted to mention something here for any future viewers looking for any help with the issue. It's not a solution for the over all problem but will help with maintenance.
Get a bidet installed on your toilet. It helps so much with ease of clean up and prevents getting sore from having to wipe all the time. You can even use it between actually having to go, just to keep the area clean and fresher feeling. I have always had a lot of bowel issues and diarrhea and after finally getting a bidet, I wished I had known about it all my life. Back when I used to have menstrual cycle, it helped so much with clean up for that as well.

Same here! Once I start going it won’t stop! Mostly water, incontinence, wearing pads and depends, making messes beyond belief! Besides that Awful Pain! No one understands that burning pain! And yet, still, no one can help me!
