Accepted Answer

Several options: There are 5 otc preps for this fungal infection. Cruex contains miconazole, a frequently used antifungal. It takes 4-6 weeks and should be used for 1 week past rash disappearance.

Not really: An anal fissure is not an infection, so there's no use for the antibiotic cream. A fissure is a tear in the inner lining(mucosa).Usually assoc.

Stay hydrated, eat well, and see a colorectal or general surgeon.
