Hello! I had a fissurectomy 2 weeks ago and I was healing just fine, but now it's burning. I had used A&D ointment to soften up the stitches but now I'm afraid that it might have softened them up too much. The site where the stitches were is like a red ring with pink tissue inside of it. Has anyone experienced this with their recovery? I stopped using the A&D and applied witch hazel with gauze to make sure it stays dry and doesn't get infected.
I will call my docor tomorrow, but it would be nice to hear from someone online sooner!
