I had a fissure a few years ago. Was prescribed a compound topical ointment of Nitro glycerin and petroleum--use generous amount inside and outside rectum twice daily. It was slow to heal but I've not had any recurrence. Good luck and be patient.

Fissure and Fistula are 2 different things

Fissures and Fistulas are 2 very different things. Fissure is a actual tearing of the skin or a split which can heal on its own only requiring surgery sometimes. A Fistula is a tube like opening or connection between two organs. It often will need surgery to repair.
