I've been dealing with an anal fissure for about a week now and I'm using Soframycin, but it hasn't really helped. I noticed some bleeding at first, but that's stopped, although it's still tough to sit down comfortably. Could you suggest any medicine that might help speed up the recovery?

Question

I'm experiencing pain when I use the toilet, and I'm worried it might be bawasir. I'm really anxious about this because I'm trying to join the defense, and I know an operation could easily be noticed in the medical exam. I really don't want surgery to affect my chances. Could you guide me on what I should do now?

Question

I'm having this really painful issue with a boil, or what I think is a skin tag, near the entrance of my buttocks. Every time I go to the bathroom, it hurts quite a bit, and it's been going on for the past three days. I'm already taking some meds that my family doctor prescribed, but it doesn't seem to be getting better quickly. It's making it hard for me to sit or walk comfortably. The medicines Ive been on are Bactifix Ointment, Acemiz which is paracetamol with serratiopeptidase and aceclofenac, Onoff OZ which includes ofloxacin and ornidazole, and Rantac 150. Im a bit concerned and unsure if theres something else I should do, or if these meds take longer to work. Could it be something more serious, and should I be doing anything differently?

Question

I've been dealing with anal fissures for the past few days, and it's gotten really itchy. Luckily, there's no pain yet. I'm wondering if seeing a dermatologist is the right move for this type of issue. Do they handle anal fissures, or should I be looking at another kind of specialist?
