A member asked:

Is it ok to put neosporin on anus due to sore and bloody feces due to constipation from being on suboxone and from opiate addiction?

Yes,but use ointment: it would be more useful to deal with the opiate constipation. speak to your doctor about an effective protocol.. use an ointment not a cream which will dry the sensitive tissue about the anus.

See your doctor : Constipation can be a serious side effect of Suboxone therapy. This can be treated with a high fiber diet from fresh fruits and vegetables. Dulcolax tabs can be taken at bedtime. A couple bottles of magnesium sulfate taken an hour apart when things get really stopped up. Sit in a tub of warm soap water. "Recticare" is great for pain. See your doctor for additional recommendations.
