Hi everyone,
Strange news. Well that little hemmie turned fissure has turned slightly fistula. It is really small and not painful, surprisingly. I discovered it the other day when I was checking out why the hemmie turned fissure still hasn't fully healed.
The minifist is right at the outside and goes about 3mm under the skin in the skin tag. Weird, huh? I almost feel like if I had the proper tools I could fix it. It would be like removing a small splinter from my butt, only there is not splinter, just the track.
I'm going to the doctor to have it opened on the 20th. (Kaiser wanted to make me wait until the 12th of January. I fought with them for an hour and ended up getting an earlier appointment.) Maybe he'll just opt to remove the skin tag, which would take the problem along with it.
I'm more annoyed than anything else that I'm still not fully healed, but this is small potatoes compared to last year's abscess. I'm also afraid that he'll cut more than he needs to.....maybe I should do it myself...eeeekk....then again maybe not.
