I think it took about 2 weeks and then 4 months of religious application of the cream before I was healed. I actually continued putting it on at night even after the doctor said the fissure was healed just for extra insurance. It has been almost a year since I got over the fissure but I because of this and other rectal problems I will always have to be careful of eating and pooping and keeping things in optimal condition. Even once the fissure heals the skin there is still compromised and it can take a year before it gains its original strength and integrity so keep it up! :bathtub:
Baths are awesome and using wetwipes instead of toilet paper or even a hand held shower head to clean will be easier on your bum too. :flush:
