Product overview
About Anusol Cream
The UK's best-known piles treatment, in its rapidly absorbed cream form: Anusol's triple action shrinks haemorrhoids (astringent zinc and bismuth oxides), relieves the discomfort, and soothes the itching that makes sitting, walking and existing miserable. Discreet 23g tube, suitable for use alongside the suppositories.
Why triple action matters
Piles are three problems at once: swollen tissue, soreness and maddening itch. Anusol's astringents constrict and protect the swollen area, the Balsam Peru soothes, and the barrier effect defends inflamed skin from further irritation — addressing the condition rather than just anaesthetising it.
How to use
Apply morning, night and after each bowel movement — externally, or internally with the nozzle provided. Keep the area clean and dry; pat, never rub. Pair with fibre and water: soft stools are half the treatment.
Good to know
Piles are common, treatable and nothing to be embarrassed about — but bleeding should always get a first-time GP check to confirm the diagnosis, and symptoms persisting beyond 7 days of treatment need review. Pregnancy piles are extremely common: check with the midwife, then treat.

Frequently asked questions
Cream or suppositories?
Cream for external piles and easy daytime reapplication; suppositories for internal piles and overnight cover. Many people use both — they're designed to work together.
How long until piles improve?
Expect real improvement within a week when paired with soft stools — fibre, water and not straining. Persisting symptoms after 7 days need a review.
Should I worry about bleeding?
Bright-red streaks with piles are common, but first-time or ongoing bleeding must be GP-checked to confirm nothing else is going on. Do that before long-term self-treating.
