....no luck searching internet, each site says something different; one says use vaseline, preparation h, zinc ointment (like for babies diaper rash); then another site says do not use ointments at all; then another, see your doctor etc. etc. why in the year 2023 is this such a hard fix? they are making such amazing strides in complicated medical areas but a sore rectum seems such a difficult thing to diagnose and treat... ??
