Back in the day, I can remember prescribing nystatin pessaries for oral thrush in immunosuppressive patients, when there wasn’t a suitable lozenge type preparation. And yes, I am an old fart...
As a pharmacist, I was going to go off on ... but, thinking better of it with who knows who and why and where people do things, so my advice, if someone is unsure if the rectal product can be used somewhere else where the sun DOES shine, ask your pharmacist.
Also a pharmacist here. I have actually had people using hemorrhoid creams such as Anusol on their faces. Apparently it is used to help remove bags under the eyes, and when you consider what's actually in it, Anusol-HC could be used for many skin irritations and rashes.
Preparation H is an excellent additive to dough bait or liver for catching catfish. I learned this after being horrified when cleaning out my dad's boat and finding half-used tubes of Preparation H everywhere. It was an interesting moment in life. And yes, he was not pleased that I'd thrown them away.
Thanks for the fishing tip. I get a bit of grief about the tube of KY in my mechanics' tool chest but it's a great lubricant for installing water hoses.
Anusol: that shit's expensive. A national chain pharmacy wanted to charge me over $140 for seven suppositories. It's easy enough to find hydrocortisone in much less expensive forms.
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

A certain subset of ladies has known for years that Preparation H is wonderful for "plumping up" those pesky age-related wrinkles.
LOL! Rumor has it that Preparation H worked on relieving puffy eyes & wrinkles.... just saying

It's how to temporarily remove wrinkles. That said, Packer wins the post response award.
