Can I use Anovate ointment for a burning sensation in my butt during and after using the toilet? I've been really uncomfortable and I'm not sure if this is the right treatment. What do you think?

Yes, Anovate ointment can help soothe burning sensations around the anus, especially after bowel movements. However, it's important to ensure you're not dealing with an underlying condition like an infection or fissures. If the discomfort persists, consulting a doctor would be a good idea.

Got my blood test results and I'm a bit worried. It shows high bilirubin and low levels of vitamin D and B12. Can you help me understand what all this means? Should I be concerned about these results, and what steps should I consider taking next?
