Can Faktu Rectal Ointment be used inside the anus or only on the outside?

How quickly will I feel relief after using Faktu Rectal Ointment?
You can expect to feel relief from pain and itching within minutes of applying Faktu Rectal Ointment due to the numbing effect of cinchocaine present in it. However, the healing of the fissure, or hemorrhoid, promoted by policresulen, may take several days to weeks of consistent use.
