HI All!
It's interesting to see how many people have suffered with this debilitating (and slightly embarrassing) condition! First, let me say that I'm new to this forum and wish I found this platform sooner as the advice and suggestions provided here are really extremely useful. SO, I decided to write this particular post because I felt it was necessary to share with others what has (finally!!!) worked for me--Hopefully it will work for you too. So, let me tell you that I've had this fissure (as far as I know) for roughly about 3 years or so now. After my looong run with MANY prescribed hydrocortisone suppositories and creams .... I did my own research and decided to try out more natural remedies. Although the prescribed meds were slightly effective, the relief was always short-lived as my fissure would (momentarily) heal then reopen---- a cycle that I let go on for wayyy too long. Thus, I decided to change my habits and begin my quest for the cure! SOOO, I followed a specific routine and regimen that has worked great for me: First, DIETARY changes are very important---For me, reducing carbs was key!!! Drinking A LOT more water AND adding more veggies also!!! Second, I use MIRALAX once a day (17g) right before bed time daily. LASTLY, (AND MOST EFFECTIVELY) I found a product called DR. WHEATGRASS SKIN RECOVERY CREAM. This cream is truly a God-sent. I use it 2-3 times a day (morning & night). (It's important to be consistent and use the cream even after pain is gone- you can reduce to once a day) Fissures, I read, take a minimum of 4 months to heal. My fissure was really painful, however by following this regiment I was able to go back to normal living! Thank GOD!!! Wishing you all the best with this painful condition as no one should have to suffer like this. Please do your own research and see what works best with your body. I wanted to avoid surgery so I tried different methods and found what works for me. It is a daily process but I know I'll beat this thing once and for all. God bless you all :)
