like Tamesis says, which kind do you mean? if it's pred, then that should help with any inflammation going on.. if it's the kind you can buy over the counter, like Anusol, then i'd say get checked out before you choose to use something without advice... it could just be simple soreness - i think most of us get that from time to time, but i think i'd recommend just seeing a nursing practitioner to let them have a peek, not only will you know what to buy, but your mind can put at rest too.
