The info that I have given has been tried and tested by "yours truly". I have been dealing with fissures for almost 10 years off an on. The use of cotton (accompanied with diet) healed my fissure within two days 10 years back. However, this was when my fissure had just developed. Back then, my fissure developed because of poor eating habits and impatience during toilet hours. Lots of coffee during work hours to manage work-stress probably contributed a lot too 10 years ago.
However, I could deal with my fissure by reading these old tricks that made so much sense logically. (Yes old medicinal tricks from books when internet was not available). I could get back to work right next day without any pain. These solutions helped me to keep my fissure at bay sometimes two years, sometimes three years. Also, my nutritionist helped me with the diet. However, it got chronic recently because I have become peri-menopausal. All those solutions did stop working this past year. It was no longer about diet or stress. It was about hormones ! That is why I opted for surgery and now healing quite well probably because of these old medicinal techniques. Mind you, I haven't developed any hemerhoids (the doctor was surprised at that) and nor there has been any sort of bleeding, inflammation, or blockage these past 10 years. When I did my sigmoidscopy the doctor gave me a clean report. I had nothing else going on there but two fissures. Yes, I do attribute this to my old medicinal tips.
Here's the explanation on the use-of-cotton disagreement. The cheeks are so tight and closed that it makes it difficult to heal faster. So the cotton lets some air in and helps the wound to heal faster. Where did I find this tip? Well, it was a feng shui book. The book had additional tips on "mind body and soul". Surprisingly, I have seen these tips being programmed on Dr.OZ's show (like the one on vata, kapha and pitta doshas). Internet does not carry this traditional info so may be you won't have anything to double-check it. Anyway, whatever I have written is tried and tested by me. You may say, that what worked for me may not work for someone else. Absolutely right! But this can be tried and checked out. It is better than living in pain. We do get bolder and manage to try new health tips when nothing works. These are simple and don't cause any permanent damage. I have tested it on myself, so I am not afraid to write about it. And def. it is not misleading. Misleading is when people have not tried and tested (not even on animals :-) ). If you don't agree then please don't be negative either, before trying it. If it is not working, then you may ask me why it is not working. Maybe you are not doing it right. But hey, it should work 100% because it is based on the same old approach that we have been taught since childhood "wound heals faster when you let it get some air". Yes, that area if dried too much may also backfire since moistness helps too to keep the infection at bay. But I am asking to do this only in the night when our skin repair activity is the highest. Well, anyway, I don't mind if you disagree. My advise up there was to ease the pain and get back to normal as soon as possible. It is certainly, not for anyone to get aggravated. However, I am looking at this in a positive way. It gave me a chance to explain the logic behind it. I should have said, "you may follow this advice at your own discretion".
Now to talk about cream. These creams have caused more damage than healing in my case because I opted to add the two letters "ab" to the word "use". This past year has been a trip to hell because all my tricks failed to respond. However, I am glad some tricks are helping me back, right now after the surgery. That fissure needed to go for good with surgery alone. However it is the surgery that made me realize that my skin had thinned out. Because my healing which normally should take place within two weeks, took 6 weeks (doctors tell you to get back to work after 14 days). Anyway, I apologize if my information has disappointed all of you. But I am sure it will help people like me, if not people like you.
