Anal fissure: What helps it heal?

@cahabagirl yes, Nifedipine compounded ointment is what healed my fissure - cost me around $70 because my government health plan didn’t cover it, but it was worth the out of pocket cost! It took six weeks of application three times a day.
I too developed constipation after my colonoscopy and had to remedy that first. That was why it took so long for the fissure to heal.

Someone else on here just recommended it to me. I saw it on Amazon for $34. Is that the same thing because I’m buying it the minute. Thank you. Diane.

Hi Rashida - may I ask if your compounded ointment was Nifedipine only? Right now I am using a blended compounded ointment (hydrocortisone, lidocaine, nifedipine) 2x per day for six weeks. Then a recheck with my physician. Also, may I ask if you applied the Nifedipine externally only or also internally? I was told to only apply my ointment externally, but I've read elsewhere that others are told to apply internally as well. I'm still having spasms and am concerned those will impact healing (in a negative way). Any information you can share is most appreciated. Thank you!
