Hello dear fissure survivors. I have had a recent reawakening of symptoms and I had bought some Organic Coconut Oil. Although it seems a lot of people here just don't apply any just store bought stuff to the rear? I am a little concerned sticking something in there that causes a burn or vicious return of symptoms. Also I read about the Lidocaine creams and they seem like a God's Gift but I am also concerned about any local skin reaction that makes a medium fissure a Massive One...or otherwise addicts me to the cream indefinitely? Do these speed healing or just hide the issue?
I read about people's recipe, some sound nice, though I'm a simpleton. I keep it clean as humanly possible and use cool water to ease the itch. I am primarily bed bound and pretty frail so doing much creative is out of the question. I'm also not very trusting of modern medicine unless the situation is truly a lost one. I have found most prescriptions I've got my hands on long lasting to be either a permanent one or a bad idea. Not every last one...just most!
I got a small fissure right at the bottom(which seems to be moving around and irritating offending the rest of the region)after I had fully healed. Now I'm clenching some and it's burning and itching on and off. I've doubled my efforts in dietary fiber and miralax to try to make BMs as soft as possible just wondering should I apply or use a cream to attempt to heal this faster or stick with my cool water and cleansing regiment?
