OK, this keeps happening so I wanted to see if anyone else out there has any idea what's going on.
My movements are soft, no pain, doc said 10 days ago lateral fissure is healed, 6 o'clock one still needs more time but is almost healed.
However, i still get a lot of itching back there around the hole itself. And if I wipe with any sort of pressure or even scratch lightly I get a lot of blood. It is all around the hole and up the back towards the top of my butt crack (leading towards my back). It persists no matter what I do.
My doc had suggested putting gauze back there which I have been doing, but there is a little blood on the gauze and if I press the gauze too close to the hole, I get a lot of blood and itching (bright red blood). It happened again just now, I took the gauze out and there was a little brown fecal matter on it with a smidge of blood. I put the new one in a little deeper, the itching occurred and I could feel something was irritated. Took the gauze out and there was a good amount of blood on it. Then I wiped once pretty thoroughly and the tp was covered with blood.
This isn't either fissure. One is closed and the other is too small to produce this amount of blood. Plus when I dab a good couple inches from the hole, there is blood there so it is my skin that is bleeding.
I made an appt with my CRS for Tuesday to have him look at the area. Not sure what this could be. Swollen skin? A skin tag or two? Hemorrhoids? Excema?
I just applied some triamcinolone acetonide cream 0.1% I was given by my dermatologist for something similar last year but have been hesitant to do so because the physicians assistant and the doc said to keep the area dry, but keeping it dry and using gauze is not helping at all.
Anyone had a raw, bleeding butt that wasn't their fissure? Am freaking out here. Thanks.
