Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Trimovate cream contains three active ingredients namely clobetasone butyrate, oxytetracycline and nystatin. It is used as topic application for inflamed skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis.
You could be possibly bleeding due to abrasion injury of skin in the anal region. Kindly clean the area with mild antiseptic solution like Povidine and let it dry. Then apply the cream as advised.
Maintain good hygiene in the area around the anal region. Wear loose undergarments till the lesion heals completely.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
