I recently was on antibiotics for a sinus
infection. While on antibiotics, I
developed a red rash around my anus and
when I wipe, I notice streaks of blood.
Sometimes it is itchy and sometimes it is
painful. Any help with this is
appreciated. Thanks

This sounds like a yeast infection. Call
the doctor and see if they will give you a
prescription for nystatin ointment. Apply
to the area. It should offer immediate
relief from the burning and itching. Go
to the natural food store and get
probiotics to replace the normal bacteria
that is in the colon and digestive tract.
Antibiotics will deplete them and the
yeast has an opportunity to overgrow. Take
the probiotics 3x/day for awhile. It takes
a bit for the normal flora to become
reestablished in the colon. That should
fix the problem.

I agree, it's a yeast infection. You can
also eat yogurt and the acidophilus in
that will help too.
