Hello @adlttl123 - I so appreciate you sharing your experience, medication/treatment info., and well wishes! This is very helpful. I am working on healing this up with as many conservative measures as I can find. I've had a good four consecutive days and am optimistic I'm heading in the right direction. You are right - it takes a lot of time and patience. Take care and thank you again.

Sitz baths as much as you can. 50% of people can heal these on their own. I gave up after 6 weeks and had the surgery. Good luck to you. This is a monster.

I am also used this after my radiation after using several other products this was by far the best I can’t believe the difference did you get yours at a compound pharmacy?

@jeanadair123 yes, I got my Nifedipine ointment from a compounding pharmacy, with a prescription from my physician.
