hi everyone, a bit depressed. I mad my own appt. to see surgeon 3 weeks ago to discuss my ibd. Anyway i mentioned the fissure to him and he looked and it hurt. I think he opened it as i felt burning right after. He said not sure if healing and if i had come to him 2 weeks ago he would have gave me the nifa cream,, can't spell it. Now he says its chronic and has a skin tag. How could that be, i've only had it 3 weeks. he said to use hemmi cream on it. Also to come back in 6 weeks if it hasn't healed for a surgery. I'm sorry i mentioned the fissure to him. He also said 50% of them heal. My other familydr. seen it right away and didn't poke around like this one. Did he do wrong and he is wrong. But i quess its not healing, still being sore when it poked around there.

I suggest u switch CRS, who shldnt give u hemm cream for fissure. Also I hav skin tag at ard 2/3 weeks

Hemmy cream for a fissure is ridiculous, why oh why do they think a bit of Anusol will heal a tear in the anus????? It makes me so damn angry If anything the cream will only make things worse... You should definitely change CRS' and ask for something with bite, like Diltiazem or Nifedipine, you still have a good chance of healing in the acute stage..
