SCHEREE CREAM BOWLIN
Hello, I visited the doctor today due to hemorrhoids.
The physician assessed that I might need surgery, but first, they prescribed me SCHEREE CREAM BOWLIN to apply for three days.
Additionally, they prescribed some medication for phlebitis to reduce inflammation and swelling for three days.
Can this cream be used for hemorrhoids? I checked online, and it seems there is no indication for treating hemorrhoids.

This ointment is primarily aimed at treating eczema or dermatitis of the skin, which may be related to dermatitis around the anal area caused by hemorrhoids.
If you encounter any issues while using it, it is advisable to consult the prescribing physician directly.

More Info
Scheree Cream Bowlin is primarily indicated for conditions such as eczema or dermatitis, particularly when there is inflammation of the skin. While it is not specifically labeled for the treatment of hemorrhoids, it may be prescribed by a physician to alleviate symptoms associated with hemorrhoids, such as inflammation or irritation around the anal area. The cream could potentially help soothe the skin and reduce discomfort if there is accompanying dermatitis or irritation due to the hemorrhoids.
When it comes to hemorrhoids, the treatment typically focuses on relieving symptoms and reducing inflammation. Common treatments include topical medications, dietary changes, and in some cases, surgical interventions. The fact that your doctor has prescribed Scheree Cream Bowlin suggests that they may be addressing secondary skin issues related to your hemorrhoids rather than the hemorrhoids themselves.
In addition to the cream, your doctor has prescribed medications for venous inflammation and anti-inflammatory purposes. These medications are likely aimed at reducing swelling and discomfort associated with the hemorrhoids. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions and use the cream as directed. If you experience any adverse reactions or if your symptoms do not improve, you should consult your physician for further evaluation.
It's also worth noting that while topical treatments can provide relief, they do not address the underlying causes of hemorrhoids. Lifestyle modifications, such as increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and avoiding prolonged sitting, can help prevent the worsening of hemorrhoids. In cases where conservative treatments fail, surgical options may be considered.
In summary, while Scheree Cream Bowlin is not specifically indicated for hemorrhoids, it may be used to treat associated skin irritation. Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and treatment options tailored to your specific condition. If you have any concerns about the effectiveness of the cream or the medications prescribed, do not hesitate to reach out to your doctor for clarification and guidance.
