Anusol cream works its magic with its active ingredients: Zinc oxide, Balsam of Peru and Bismuth oxide. These ingredients have a mild antiseptic, protective and astringent properties. Balsam of Peru is also beneficial when it comes to the promotion of the growth of new skin cells. When applied in and around the anal area, the active ingredients take action by soothing the discomfort caused by the conditions mentioned. So you'll be sitting down without an issue in no time.

This entirely depends on how the anal area is reacting to the medicinal cream and how severe the conditions were in the first place. If the symptoms haven't reduced or, even worse, have deteriorated after 1-2 weeks of use, consult your doctor immediately, as this means the conditions could be something more nefarious.
