Prep H for eye swelling? Yikes, it's tough enough putting that foul smelling ointment on your ass without thinking about rubbing it on the face in much closer proximity to the nose. :)

By the way, some time ago I remember a post that mentioned a much better remedy for hemmorroids than Prep H. Anyone remember what it was? I have "a friend" who would love to know. lol

My homemade remedy is to take your index finger, or both middle and index finger....stuff those little bastards back in there yourself. You will never have another problem until the next time you blow it out your ass again. Then repeat the process. Might want to make sure you have some kleenex available it can get a little messy. :eek: :eek: :moon:
