Hi all, I am 27 year old female who has suffered from a fissure since giving birth approx 1 year. Past.
Tried all ointments, diet changes
etc but nothing worked and I was eventually referred for Botox treatment which I had in February of this year.
The Botox treatment was pretty straight forward, was slightly uncomfortable after, but improved each day and by day it felt back to Normal. This lasted for approx 6 weeks and then I started to get some niggles again but nothing
compared to what I had before, no spasms just slight pain.
At the the time of procedure I asked my surgeon if I had any piles down there which he replied "no", although I could clearly see something and knew what I could feel and see wasn't right , but who was I to question (at that time: didn't know any different and was just glad to be getting something done).
Since my procedure I have developed an anal skin tag, however I am not sure if this was already present as I did ask and was dismissed by surgeon. I no longer have the sharp pain like throbbing when passing stool so I'm guessing the fissure has healed however I get loads of pain just after BM. The pain is different to the fissure it's like a burning/stinging pain and can last hours. I take laxido sachets daily and have done for the last 8 months, I have a good diet, drink loss of water etc but feel I now rely on these.
After another lengthy wait via NHS I seen a different surgeon and he confirmed I had an anal skin tag, he couldn't see if the fissure was still there as the skin tag was in the way. He has agreed to put me to sleep, inject more Botox to the fissure if need be and remove the skin tag.
Has anyone had skin tag removed and could you share your experiences? I am happy to answer any questiones re the Botox procedure I am trying to be brief so I don't bore you's all lol.
Thanks
P.s sudocrem has really helped sooth the area, takes the sting away and seems to take effect quite quickly.
