Framycetin sulfate cream can be applied to minor skin cuts, but the sensitive perianal area requires extra care. For a cut in this region, it is often best to focus on keeping the area clean and dry. Wash gently with plain water and pat dry. Applying a protective barrier ointment like petroleum jelly or a zinc oxide-based cream is highly effective at reducing friction and promoting natural healing. Avoid harsh soaps. If the cut is deep, bleeds, or causes pain during bowel movements, it might be an anal fissure. Please consult a doctor for a proper evaluation if it does not improve within a few days.
