What woud be the symptoms of reopening the fissure?
Also what are the signs that the fissure is healing?l
ever so much-Marie

I would think that after several days of little or no pian, you have an obvious hard BM or some other incident during a BM, and the pain comes back...
I cannot say for certain...fissures seem hard enough to understand even for Colo-rectal professionals, much less us lay-people..
As for healing...little or no pain and probably a good, strong itch..? Just a guess!

Why did I ask this question? Just kidding. This morning I had pains while cleaning myself at the fissure area. I haven't felt that in a a while.
Oh well knock on wood. Just when you say your feeling better...wham..this fissure has a stuborn mind of it's own....and likes to remind you I'm still here. So frustrating.
Thank you Marie
