Every now and then, with the help of a good strong light and a magnifying mirror, I try to look at my fissure. I can't see any wound. I can see the skin tag (sentinel pile?). I can see the remains of a hemorrhoid. But I just can't see any kind of wound. I know it's still there. It feels external. When the CR nurse examines me, she just parts my buttocks and gently touches the outside area. She's not looking inside, and yet somehow she can see the fissure.
Has anyone else experienced this? Can you see your fissure? Does it look red, like a cut, or what? Anybody out there feel like sharing?
