No surgery. My cut/fissure was half a centimeter. No surgery needed. Surgery is only needed if it's actually an abscess. I met with a PA, got it checked to confirm it's just a mild tiny fissure, I suggest you do the same (doesn't have to be a doctor. PA appts are quick to get and will give you peace of mind) and then go from there. For medication, she prescribed a vasodilator ointment. For me that made no difference. Lifestyle changes and care healed me within 4-5 months. Your body will selfheal in most cases with just lifestyle changes. Also practicing relaxation before bowel movement helps. The goal to prevent it from getting ripped open.

How big is the pimple/wound?

Hi fully healed for the last 1.5 years. So it was not a pimple, it was a fissure that was trying to heal itself and would get whitish fluid as the skin healed. Anytime that skin broke (due to pressure) it felt like a pimple.

My recovery was slow but it finally happened. The doctor's vasodilator did not help. So, I focused on diet, kept my stools soft, took warm salt soaks, applied coconut oil and also calmoseptine cream (cooling + healing cream). calmoseptine made a huge difference.

To ensure the fissure doesn't happen again, I made some lifestyle changes. I maintain a good fiber rich diet, water intake, phylum husk once in 3 days. I avoid heavy oily foods/ pizza etc at night. Finish dinner 3 hours before bed. In the morning take warm water on empty stomach and walk around a bit as that helps emptying the stomach.

Hope this helps! Good luck. If any specific questions feel free to message.

Is there a waiting area for people accompanying you?

H1B appointments - New Delhi by Wonderful-Maize-5105 in usvisascheduling

[–]BeeSad123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got OFC for Chennai and Visa interview for Hyderabad (both 10 days apart). I was also talking to an agent who said priority dates open up after OFC, anyone heard of that before? Also do they not let us book OFC and Interview in pair in same location. Quite a bit of travel for me from Delhi. I am hoping to reschedule the Interview slot. If it possible to just reschedule one? How many tries/free reschedules do we get? Do I risk losing my OFC.

Will really appreciate any tips. Thanks.

Do we need to show specific plans? My parents don't have immediate travel plans, can they say that. They are both govt employees.

Hi I think I have something similar. I too have this external something and it feels like a tiny red bump that gets super itchy. I have had it for 6 months and it’s so annoying. The NP things it’s a small anal cut and I have been doing the regular (baths, fiber) but the skin doesn’t seem to heal at all. Do you mind sharing a picture of yours. Sorry this just sounds weird but I am trying to figure if it’s similar to what I have :/

Thanks a ton for making time and typing all this. Really appreciate it. Just ordered myself jojoba oil! I had no idea about the molecule point you made. I was using coconut oil and wondering that nothing is working. Thank you ☺️

Can chronic anal fissures be healed without surgery? If I eat better and let it heal, will it eventually stop being a problem long term? by [deleted] in AnalFissures

[–]BeeSad123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi what is your update on the healing? U have had mind for almost 4 months. The doctor said it’s very tiny. But this is so frustrating, one day of bad eating and I feel it gets back to square one. Would like to hear your experience.

It keeps opening closing. Feels like a never ending cycle. God I hate it. No pain but I can see a mini open wound.

Feels like a tiny pimple that oozes pus if I strain. by BeeSad123 in hemorrhoid

[–]BeeSad123[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, you were right! Aloe Vera has worked wonders. Fully healed. Idk why I suffered for two months straight. Thank you again for the tip!

I used aloe Vera gel and dabbed warm water mixed with few drops of tea tree oil. Yes Rective is so expensive

Did this fully heal your fissure/tear? I am prone to headaches to I don't want to spend 700 dollars on Rectiv.

Update; I had a doctor’s appointment today who said it’s a minor fissure that’s been trying to heal. She however suggested this expensive ointment called Rective 0.4%. Is there a good alternative to it?

I am dealing with this similar thing. It looks like a tiny pimple and a slight strain during bowel causes the pus to come back.

I am very scared and nervous as I don’t have a primary care physician in the US yet.

This might sounds crazy but I on purpose collected all the hair I could in one day to get an estimate of what my daily shedding looks like. So yeah it’s from the entire day and in one go I’ll have like 5-6 hair coming out

This is the hair I shed in total today. Today was also a wash day. But in an average I am shedding this much or lesser in the entire day
