How To Stop Pimple Looking Rashes Around Anus From Spreading?
I have a rash that looks like popped pimples around my anus. It is not itchy, but burns quite a bit. I tried cleaning it with peroxide but it didn t do anything. I tried putting neorsporin on it, but it made it burn even more. The only thing that seemed to sooth it for a little while, is to clean it with alcohol, which hurts like the dickens, but feels much better after the fact. I am afraid that it is spreading. What do I do?

Hi it seems to be Herpes Zoster or Shingles. That is why it is not improving. Consult a doctor for appropriate prescription medication--regards
