One online surgeon suggested it could be folliculitis. I applied neosporin, with no relief. Last night I applied the lidocaine 3% 0.5% hydrocortisone as indicated and also on that area. It is at 4 o'clock on the anal rim. How much longer should I wait until I make an appointment with a dermatologist?
It feels like the rest of my itchy skin... I thought about hydrocortisone cream but was afraid it would cause an infection...
I feel it would be safe to say you have hemmroids,, you get them from heavy lifting, sitting for long periods of time, straining during bowel movements endless reasons. and the itching may just be from not cleaning well enough after b.m.'s and the hemmroids make this more difficult,, I personally use baby wipes and if that doesn't help, ask your dr. for a perscription for Lidocaine HCI 3% and Hydrocortisone Acetate 2.5% Gel.
My doctor prescribed 3% lidocaine/0.5% hydrocortisone cream (which took two days to get). I was also using the hemorrhoid cream. In addition, I was using about 4-5 baby wipes to clean the area each time so that there was not one speck of anythiong left to irritate the hemorrhoids. Interestingly enough, about 6 days after that pain started, it began to decrease and after a couple more days, it was almost gone. I still had the external hemorrhoids but the hemorrhoid cream took care of them.
I am using Benadryl, Keri lotion, and Hydrocortizone cream for the rash and itching, but I will admit, so far mine has been mild.
As for the Fire in the Hole, that side effect has been a doozy. I am using unscented baby wipes with aloe after going to the BR (Huggies), hemorrhoid cream, sometimes A&D ointment (for any outer excoriation), prescription Lidocaine 3%/Hydrocortizone 0.5% cream, and hemorrhoid suppositories.
The only other time I have experienced any redness is from giving myself contact dermatitis in my vagina from too much aspercream with lidocaine down there. Am now just using coconut oil with lidocaine for pain and started a ssri. Saw a pain doctor who believes my pain is viral in nature-maybe shingles recurrence (which I have had in the past but not in groin area). Have you ever heard of any cases of herpes like this??
Hi just wondering if it's possible to lose weight while taking hydrocortisone....I'm exercising 4 to 5 times a week and eating right but still can't lose weight,,, all I'm losing is energy..I have a pituitary tumor btw...
After applying hydrocortisone for 4 days the small red spots are gone and the one larger remaining spot is almost vanished completely. At this rate, it will probably be completely cleared up within the next two days. I honestly thought It was possible I had warts. I assume hydrocortisone wouldn't be able to clear something like that up. Any ideas what I had?
My doctor had suggested it could be warts but told me I would need to have a biopsy to know for sure.
one week penicillin concurrent with one week acyclovir, one week mouthwash (swallow) with hydrocortisone powder, nystatin, tetracycline, and diphenhydramine. two weeks tylenol, sporadically, never more than 3 g in one day.
At the time of the test, I was still taking viscous lidocaine for throat ulcers. Used two 100 ml bottles in four weeks, just started third bottle.
I seem to either be having a gastroparesis flare or something else.
The radiofrequency neurolysis is a good procedure for temporal tendonitis if that is what you have. Lidocaine/cortisone injections are equally effective. Both may need to be repeated. The big issue is why you may have temporal tendonitis---usually from clenching/bruxing associated with TMJ pain or sleep disordered breathing. Follow scottma's advice and find a qualified orofacial pain specialist and get a correct diagnosis.
my co-worker gave me a new 10ml bottle of lidocaine, he uses it to give himself stitches. advice as to where to put the needle (i got from cvs insulin 31g-8mm),what to expect ie: will it burn- how long b4 its numb, and if i split the nail will it grow back? any advice will help..
Re: Lidocaine Enemas. I am warning everyone to be careful. My brother just died 3/31/12 from a lidocaine enema. He was only 28. (Lidocaine Intoxication) Lidocaine in liquid form. I don't want anyone elses loved ones to die like this. I hope everyone will be careful when dealing w/lidocaine. it is a dangerous substance when not used properly.
When it comes to your health, sometimes you have to take things into your own hands unfortunately. You're you're own best advocate. Time to get proactive. Try to figure things out and ask the doctors for things (hounding them if necessary, even if it's just so they give in to shut you up).
We know the 3 common possibilities..
-Something structural compressing a nerve or vessel.
-Some local inflammation putting pressure on a nerve or vessel.
There are no contraindications for using lidocaine for the purpose described. The only danger is that lidocaine completely anesthetizes tissue, which is why you can cut or suture an area treated by lidocaine. Thus it is possible to cause a tear or injury that would not be noticed until the lidocaine wore off. In the case of normal intercourse, this should not be a problem.
In a simple dental procedure, I had what I can only describe as a seizure after getting what was supposed to be lidocaine and epinephrine injection. The area never got numb, and the pain from the point of the needle each time they attempted to inject me was painful. I was taken to the ER and released after 8 hours with no explanation.
I read that lidocaine can cause a seizure. I have had injections many times with no problem. What could have gone wrong?
I just wanted to say how pleased I am to see so many woman suggesting mother's to be patient and wait for the baby to be ready. Not to try to force it out through "natural induction". There is nothing natural about using Castro oil or such. I understand how uncomfortable it can be but waiting it out vs potentially harming your child. I'm just happy to see people suggest the waiting it out. Thanks moms!
