Review: So far this is working better than any other Preparation H products. - I have to say that I think this version of Prep H (why are there so many versions?) is the best I've tried yet (previously I used the ointment for a long time). For whatever reason, my hemorrhoids get much worse in the heat of summer--I guess things naturally swell in your body in heat anyway, and bodies retain more fluid in summer. Anyway, the screaming bouts were getting pretty loud this summer (surprised the neighbors haven't called the police to see if I'm being attacked, lol), so I tried this cream. (There are also some good prescription solutions, but they're not cheap.) It seems to be working faster and better than any of the other products made by this company. And for that I will be forever grateful--no one who doesn't suffer from this has any idea how intense the pain can be. By the way, make sure if you order the three-pack, you get it--I didn't. desertcart was great about solving the situation, as usual, but still.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I heard it can reduce swelling in other areas .... like ankles.  Anyone had this experience?**
A: Oh, wow!  Sorry, but application to reduce swelling in other areas is not something we've ever tried. My mother had swelling in one ankle and lower leg and due to lack of cartilage in the knee joint and resulting excruciating pain, it was impossible to pull on traditional compression stockings. What we did to great result was to compression wrap the ankle and leg with special compression wraps. You might enquire about these and most importantly do not cross legs when sitting and keep the leg elevated anytime you do not have to stand.  Get a good recliner chair and keep that particular leg elevated. The resulting diminishment in swelling will be a direct result of compression wrapping and elevating the leg. As a note of caution, do not try to use Ace bandage for wrapping because it is not stiff enough and will end up becoming (rolling up into) a tourniquet around the ankle and lower leg and just make the situation worse, cutting off blood and lymph flow. Do yourself a favor and invest in a good compression wrapping system. You will be glad.

**Q: What's the expiration date please?**
A: Expiration dates are determined by when the product is ordered but all sellers comply with Amazon policies.

**Q: What is the Expiration date on these?   How far out is it?   Anybody receive product that was expired or close**
A: Mine have expiration dates of 7/2022

**Q: Does anyone know if applying this internally , will show up in blood / pee test?**
A: It will not.
