My partner is grossed out by this whole AF thing so he doesn't want to take a picture. I really want to see what my fissure looks like so I have an idea how big it is. I "think" my fissure is just outside... so applying oil outside should be good enough?
My husband also, he didn't want to take a picture of the area when my fissure was fresh, I want to see how it looked, after a lot of "coercion" finally did, I blew up the picture in the computer, it was not pretty. :D
Now, as for the creams and oils, I have to say that I am very sensitive to anything in my private areas but the Carlson so far is very soothing and helps me a lot, I don't know if they are a healing solution but they keep my bum area soft and with minimal irritation.
Now I also use on and off desitin baby cream to protect when I have an episode of diarrhea.
