I'm experiencing a bit of wetness and irritation around my anus that goes away when I clean it. Sometimes there's also a little tickling sensation that lasts just a few seconds. It only happens once a day, and I'm fine the rest of the time. My doctor suggested taking Bendex followed by Metrogyl, three times a day for five days, with a second Bendex tablet after a week. Is it okay to follow this advice?
