Sitz baths help alot in the beginning. Also, I got a bidet sprayer attachment for the toilet (HomeDepot...$35...easily installed!). I found that early on the creams didn't work too well for me so I switched to using corn starch powder and it did the trick. I'm now at 15 weeks post-takedown and am able to just use a little A & D after each bathroom trip and I have very little burning or itching (only have it now if I eat something that causes looser stools). It will get better...7 weeks is not much time.
