so this question's for anyone who's had fissurectomy, fistulotomy mainly.... i don't remember imy butt looking so disgusting after LIS, but definitely after the skin tag removal last year...
so how do i keep it clean??? i bathe in warm water 4 times a day, and after BM i rub a little soap on it with my finger then rinse it off well in the bath. my dr prescribed Mupirocin, which is some kind of anti-bacteria ointment. i put that on the wound, along with lidocaine, 3 times a day. i'm also taking Levaquin, some kind of anti-bacteria antibiotic, once a day for 5 days. otherwise, how do i make sure no fecal matter gets trapped in there. my butt is such a disgusting mess right now i can't tell what's fecal matter, what's blood, and what's just plain skin..... any ideas on optimal cleanliness?? infection is definitely my worst fear..... in advance!
