Sneely,
There is someone else on the forum whose doc recommended vaseline petroleoum jelly after a fistula and tag removal surgery.
http://anal-fissure.org/t4438-open-wound-healing-after-fistulotomy-e-z-lubricating-jellyI used neosporin to heal my fissure the first time I got it. I use lanolin now, but it is thicker and harder to apply. So if you are real sore I would go with the petroleum jelly, neosporin , vitamin E or coconut oil.
The first two will last the longest before needing to be reapplied. Some others here use A&D ointment (not the zinc kind) (not available here in Canada though).
this is all IMO of course.
How you doing?
I was reading your other posts. Hope your pain is better!
