Hi Sadie
I think that would be a great idea
No its not life threatening but an infection could be, a doctor will not dismiss you if state you are worried about infection, for your piece of mind too ! they cannot be mad at you, don’t worry about that.
The cream you are after is ANOHEAL – Diltiazem , it is prescription yes, some doctors have never heard of it but they should be able to source it for you !
Yes Sadie, I am suffering , I have had my fissure since March 2007 I used anoheal which kept things good for a while but came off the cream recently and hey presto my fissure returned, now I am wating for my surgery date with the NHS , skin tag removal and anal dilation …
Goodluck
