Brief Answer:
Closing may require antibiotics for a while, or possible suturing

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. It actually all depends on how the abrasion appeared, whether it was an injury and how it took place, whether it was a tear, etc.

But for now, I would recommend a check on your anal region and also the initiation of a course of antibiotics. The main issue here is going to be an infection and the tear being open resulting in it being susceptible to infections. If the tear needs surgical intervention then it will not heal with just medications, so I would still recommend a doctors visualisation and examination.

For now I would like to recommend the following:

+Keep the region clean and dry for as long as possible
+Apply a cold cream over the region after cleaning the region at least 3 times a day
+Daily shower
+Continue with the application of neosporin over the region

I look forward to hearing from you in order to help you further. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.

Best wishes.
