The Ointment formula also helps to shrink the swollen haemorrhoids and protect sensitive, sore skin against infection thanks to the astringent and antiseptic properties of zinc oxide.
The oily nature of Germoloids Ointment means it can also act as a lubricant to help ease the passing of stools to avoid any further strain on an already sensitive area.
