Is it good to apply lox 2%jelly everyday for constipation. It works for me. Due to lighten limited food and vegetables are available here. Mostly milk products which cause constipation. So I have to adjust till lockdown. I can not get high fibre foods here in our area. So everyday constipation. Im using lox jelly everyday. Is there any side effects like skin or colon cancer becoz of it. Or any other serious side effects.

It will work & will ease the pain, bt lox gel is actually lidocaine, which is a local anaesthetic. It will not cure or prevent complications. Even if the severity of the disease is increased, you won't feel as it will stop your pain perception. I would advise you please don't use it as sole medication for constipation. There are better ways & medicines to treat your issue fully. You can consult me online in this app for further help.
