Haha Gareth you're hilarious. Don't worry, that is the LAST thing on my mind these days. Infact I don't even want to think about that til marriage, especially cause of this stupid fissure.
drewsmom, I think it's just the aloe vera gel that's been a bit weird. When I used pure aloe vera juice (that had really no other ingredient apart from pure aloe vera juice), it was very soothing. The aloe vera gel we've been using is (I think) mixed with other ingredients... Maybe that's what's causing the problem.
buttgirl, i think that gel is seriously a bit weird. After using it I started feeling my fissure a bit more, it was weird. It wasn't providing the same healing as the aloe vera juice would... Usually with the juice I'd start getting itchy (assuming that's a good sign) - and it'd provide a nice type of soothing relief. This gel is sort of weird!
