Some GPs know nothing about fissures, so their idea of healed may be wrong! A lot of us have had bad experiences with doctors.
Most of the hemmie creams contain hydrocortisone, which can thin the skin - the last thing you need on a newly healed fissure!
If it is really red, or mauvey blue, then it could be thrombosed. Is it excrutiatingly painful? My first fissure was caused by one of those bursting. Ughhh, so painful!
Try the ice cube I suggested on your other thread, it takes the pain away and the swelling down.
