Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

OK, kind of touchy personal stuff here and is something I just don't talk about even to my wife, but hey, I need to as I consider this a public service review. I don't have serious outbreaks or massive 'roids. I get small ones now and again that are scratchy/itchy and just annoying. Dr Butler has an 1.5"-2" (I'm eyeballing it) insertion tube that goes "up there" to dispense if there are problems "in there". I wish it came with a cap that goes over the insertion tube rather than unscrewing, cleaning (a pain) and putting the cap back on. Just a snap-on cap that goes over the insertion tube would be real handy. This is an ointment, not a cream. Some products I've used irritate a bit when applied and "smart" as they are absorbed. Dr. Butler's is totally irritation/pain free on open sores/'roids, at least for my use. SUMMERY: This Stuff Works, Period. Read on for more info... At my colonoscopy several years ago the gastroenterologist made some notes in my report and recommended Anucort-HC suppositories. Kind of "creepy" to insert for the first few times, kind of like an axe murderer doing his first kill and over time it becomes more efficient. Anucort works best if kept in the refrigerator so the are solid when inserted. You do not feel the cold at all. Anucort-HC does work very well but is EXPENSIVE, like uber-expensive. With a really good company-based prescription drug plan (NOT Obamacare), it is worth it. Out of pocket checking GoodRX.com 12 "Silver Bullets" are $75-$95 and treatment can be 2x/day for 7-10 days. They work, but WHEW, expensive, and if you have chronic issues, you need to see your doc each year to get a new annual refill that incurs a doctor co-pay and time, yada yada yada. The Gastro doc also prescribed Analpram HC cream; 30g tube is like $38 (GoodRx). It is a cream that is applied just like Dr. Butler only it comes with a cap that snaps on the insertion tube after cleaning. It works, however, if your 'roids are sensitive, it can smart/irritate/burn for a few minutes as it is absorbed. However, you need a prescription. I found the Dr Butler product to work better than Analpram for my situation, and it doesn't "smart" when applied. As with any medical treatment "your mileage will vary". And, you do need to work with a doctor to make sure you are getting good treatment. For me, I like Doctor Butler and will continue to use it. Thank goodness for Amazon Prime ;-)
