BUT they should never be used for:
Severe piles
Bleeding from rectum
Severe itching
Anal fissure
Persistent rashes
Darkening of sensitive skin
Recurrent fungal infections
Many herbal creams contain strong, unregulated ingredients that may cause:
Skin irritation
Redness and inflammation
Burning sensation
Allergic reactions
Rashes or blisters
Some herbal products also contain hidden chemical steroids that are not mentioned on the label. These can damage the skin over time.
