Reply to "What is an anal fissure?"

Cuts in the skin caused by frequent BM’s, irritation from diarrhea, straining, etc.  It can be internal and external. The pain can radiate so it may feel like the problem is on the external bottom, as well. 

I was just treated for the first time for this. I was told I had a lot of little cuts and skin tags. The tags are associated with stretching and can be the result of hemneroids.

 I instantly responded to Recticare which is the strongest non Rx lidocaine. Runs about $25 but soooo worth it. 

I was told to mix it with Desitin as a barrier. You can also mix it with Calmoseptine, which is another amazing product. However, the cooling in the Calmoseptine that normally brings instant relief was causing pain with the cuts . 

I didn’t get a chance to buy the Desitine and used the Rectcare only and the problem resolved immediately within a day  I guess my case wasn’t serious, though it was going on over a month. However, it can get serious and mire painful if left untreated.

The Desitine or Calmoseptine is important as a barrier during healing and especially when BM’s are frequent as with pouchitis.
