Hi all, I am a 26-year-old guy, who has a fissure. I was all fine and using the 0.2% GTN for it but its a vicious cycle of tear and heal. I can't get any proper stool softners here, But now things are much much worse. in the morning I have a really bad itch. The entire anal area is swollen and tender. its been a week maybe that i started used the latex gloves for applying the ointment so maybe its allergy to them. I also suspect that things got a bit bad when I changed the 0.2% GTN to 0.4%. The new ointment I believed was not good since it caused me to feel "inflamed" down there if that makes sense. Changed to 2% diltiazem from a different pharmacy. I didn't cause the inflammatory feeling but I was not a proper ointment as I had a granular texture which I didn't notice at first but dam I think it caused a lot of damage. Now for the past three mornings, I have had an itch in my bottom and the around the anal area. I don't know what to do or where to go? Should I go to a dermatologist or a gastrologist or a surgeon?
Please please if there is someone who's experienced this I need help.
Thanks for taking the time to read.
