Hello, I have been a non-member just viewing the posts on here since I developed a fissure 1 year ago. I was given the cream by the specialist which relaxes the sphincter muscle but it never really did much in way of healing and I also developed a terrible itch that I believe was from the cream. I used this cream 2-3x a day for many months.

The fissure was what I would consider a moderate level, mostly just incredible itch that would occur randomly during the day and sometimes I would have a sharp pain. It was at the point where it was interfering with my exercising, walking or sitting too long at my desk.

On this site, I was researching various creams that people were using. I read one post about the zinc oxcide which heals cuts. So far, I had tried coconut oil and aloe vera gel, which felt nice but did nothing for me. I was getting very desperate and I was thinking about scheduling the surgery. But, before I went down that path, I wanted to try more creams. Well, I tried the Boudreaux's Butt Paste Diaper Rash Ointment - Maximum Strength 40% Zinc Oxide
and let me tell you that this has quite possibly healed me and saved me so much trouble. I have been using it once in the morning and once before bed for 2 weeks now. I am hoping it will heal me, but even if it does not, it has completely removed the itch and I have my normal life back. Please if you are in the same predicament, give this cream a try and it may help you.

Did it help with the sharp pain too?

Hi, just an update on using this cream. It pretty much masks all the itch and pain, however I have noticed that it hasn't healed the fissure. It is certainly better than nothing, but the battle is still ongoing. I apply it 1-2 times in a 24 hour period.
