Hello,
So I have been struggling with these fissures for the past 5 years, but the thing is that they came into being in such a particular way that I'm not even sure what they are!
Here is the story. After a heartbreaking love experience in my late teen years I ended up catching anal herpes (the mild kind). So I had the normal herpes in and arround my anus, i had three recognizible crises, but then it got complicated. After the third crisis (a year after being infected) I cought a stomach virus that lasted for about three months. I was passing stool several times a day, which severely dammaged my pernianal area to the point of having constant paper towel cuts. During those months I had a boyfriend with whom I had anal sex, which I think just worsened everything, because it gave me fissures. So, ever since i have paper cuts in this area and I just dont know what it is. I never had a recognizible herpes crisis since. It is just the cuts, withouth pain other then when passing stool and even then is not the same pain as it was when I had the crisis. My doctor thought it was fissures, so she game me a nitoglycerin cream which helped but didint fix anything. I have these cutes that appear every other day, they heal, and reapper two days later. What the hell, its been 5 years
I dont think its the Herpes, because it doestn feel nothing like the first times, and unlike the herpes, its an everyday thing
I dont think its rough toilet paper cleaning because the cuts appear even when i just wash with water for weeks
And I also dont think its fissures because I can feel them heal and then just break again if I were to, for exemple, spread my but cheeks. It seems to easy for a fissure to reapper so easily. But then again, the cuts appear always in the same place : just on the outisde of the anus. I also get itchy so i scratch a little then they appear again.
Anyone can relate? is this just a normal fissure condition or what?
Thanks for reading!
