Suggested metronidazole by pharmacist ??? M’am metronidazole is an antibiotic based ointment and is to be used cautiously, kindly share pictures of the concerned area and get the treatment of underlying cause in a proper manner! Just application of the ointment wouldn’t lead to a proper resolution. Regards Dr. Chadha
