Aloe vera made me itch more because it healed me more.. I tried gold bond, not sure if its good to use on a fissure but it 'cooled' things down a bit. I think the itch is a good sign. A hot bath/soak helps me too
Jennie, see my previous post, I used Canesten cream as I am sure my fissure was caused by thrush, although it worked for me, it may not be the same with everybody, but I would suggest that if you have ever suffered with thrush before, it may also be the cause ..................worth a go
