What antibiotic ointments help treat a rash on anal area?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Won't help: Anal rashes aren't usually caused by bacteria, and won't improve with antibiotic ointments. Most anal rashes occur when people pay too much attention to their anuses--overwashing and applying too many creams and ointments. The key to an anal rash is to ignore it.
