Witch Hazel Wipes for fissure?

Postby sababa » 28 Jul 2014, 23:01

Hi,

Does anyone know if using witch hazel toilet wipes can be helpful for fissures? Will it cause burning sensation?

:thanx:

Hi sababa-

I didn't use witch hazel wipes, but soaked a cotton pad in witch hazel from the bottle and used that for wiping after a BM or just to be "extra clean" after a shower. I used them maybe 2-3 times a day, and I did notice irritation. I can't guarantee that it was due to the witch hazel or just because of the fissure itself, but I've been less irritated since I stopped using it and have actually felt darn near perfect the last few days. I might have been using it too often as well.

Give it a try and see if it works for you - a lot of people on the forum here swear by them. And if they don't, well, witch hazel is really good for your face! That's where mine goes now :D (although I don't know if I'd use the Prep H wipes on my face...)

i could swear that witch hazel irritated me. any wiping away of natural body oil is never great when dealing with fissures.
i actually use aloe and vitamin e wipes with NO alcohol. get the hypoallergenic ones. afterwards i smooth a bit of extra virgin coconut oil on to sooth any irritation. right now i wear depends after botox surgery. no incontinrnce but they're more for preventing the oil from seeping through.

Water on the TP works best for me. No wiping, usually clean up in the shower after.
