Here I am again. Look, I'm so down and blue and scared about my rectal issues. I've had LS there for many years. I sort of stayed on top of it since diagnosis though I often have itching. Well, right now I must be flaring there. Some on here have said steroid is too harsh for the anal area. Is thag how most feel? How can I settle things?  

Presently I'm very stressed. I'm sure it's not helping.  Thanks for any suggestions. I've started using castor oil today. Hopefully that helps.

    I use anusol for the rectal area.  It is mainly a treatment for piles, which I don't have, but it is very soothing.
