I have the same problem and I think the big one is growing a baby one :-( its pretty gross and hella painful. I havent tried the tuck pads but prep h didnt work at all for me.
Try getting your doc to prescribe lidocaine ointment. Its helping mine. I also clean area with pure witch hazel I bought at walmart for $2 cheaper than tucks. Then add my ointment. K, this is wierd but a ring out a hot facecloth and just tuck in your bum for ten minutes, I do this in my bed on a towrl.. Lock ur door tho if ya have kids.. 10 days with them, but I can finally stop walking like an old lady.
I have used witch hazel which is a topical astringent. I soak a few cotton pads in the WH, place them in the freezer for a few min and tuck one in there after every BM. It is so soothing. In addition to the prepH gel, this worked for me to get rid of them. Also, kegels really help. Feel better soon!
