My fissures are making lots of progress and I am healing. My sentinel pile even seems to be gradually reducing. But at it's height, and mostly now, it looks like a small hand reaching out and covering my anus. At one point I couldn't even see the hole to put suppositories in anymore. It was bigger than the whole anus area. It looked like I had an anus growing out of my pile.
I've read up on them quite a bit and I understand how they form, but I've never seen one form like that in anything I've read. Anyone else's reach out and mask their anus in a self defeating attempt to protect it from the rest of the world when the real issues are within?
