Any suggestions for remedy?

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Greetings of the day

Perianal rash and hemorrhoids are two different pathologies

What I presume is that there is a small boil which has ruptured and has caused a sinus which is smelling bad

I would suggest you take a sitz bath twice a day and add a good antibiotic like cefexime with ornidazole

If possible get a complete blood panel done and a transrectal ultrasound

Hope this helps
