Bleeding from open skin - anal area

I have found a cream called "clear moisture barrier ointment" "for minor to severe skin irritation due to incontinence" by Coloplast - also on the tube is "critic aid clear". Coloplast makes several similar products which is why I put all the details. I first got this when I was in the hospital and a wound care nurse brought me all kinds of stuff to try. I find it less greasy than aquaphore but I think we all have our own preferences.I got my last tube on eBay. I've had 2-3 practitioners recommend coconut oil so I use that in the vaginal area and the Coloplast over the anal area. Good luck, it seems like one cancer per person should be the max. 

I have been using Calmoseptine ointment for over three years and it has worked consistently better for me than coloplast ointment.  Helps with soothing pain from incontinence and discomfort from bleeding and broken tissue and helps with healing. Every time I switch to something else I always come back to this.  It is a thick paste that adheres to skin so it is a barrier Ointment that lasts for hours.  Get at any drugstore, Walmart (may have to ask at pharmacy counter).  Also have to occasionally use this blended with Lidocaine if pain gets bad. Best to you.

Hi Bellen   Sorry to hear about your open areas . I had treatment a few years ago and had large open areas . I tried and did everything the doctors told me to do with no relief . It was not till I was admitted to the hospital and the nurse asked if I needed my Nu-gel that I found a miracle . I tried it and within days my gaping open wounds were drying up and closing. My doctor got an ear full from me I could not understand why all of us getting radiation are not given this . I gathered up as much as possible to take home . It is a clear gel , does not sting and wounds just seem to disappear in no time . If I had only had it from the beginning it would have saved a lot of suffering. I later ordered it for a friend for bed sores it worked the same . U can get it on line and is not expensive. U could also ask your Doctor . Good luck I'll be thinking about you . 

Have you tried installing a toilet top bidet seat so that you can just wash with water and dry yourself with the air jets instead of using toilet paper at all?  I have ordered one for myself.  My in-laws are from Europe and they say that you don't use your hands at all -- just let the water and air jets do their thing.  No wiping fragile skin.  They install on your regular toilet, but you do need a power outlet nearby.  I'm sorry for your pain!
