I started thinking I had an Anal Fissure, then went to my doctor originally because I also had hemorrhoids. Those are all gone, and I did end up having a Fissure which the doctor's advice made worse or gave a partner. Hydrocortisone was given for both. I literally almost fainted and had ringing in my ears for a half an hour after trying my second suppository, maybe because my rectum is tiny.
I consistently read around here that Hydrocortisone doesn't help with fissures, and may even make them worse by thinning the skin and preventing healing. Why, then, do so many recommend it? Or does it help with some, but not with others?
