I'm dealing with an anal fistula for about 2 years now, and sometimes the pain just becomes unbearable. Could you recommend the best doctor who specializes in treating this condition?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The discomfort you're experiencing could be due to hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or other conditions.
Over-the-counter (OTC) options for relief:
- Creams: Anusol, Hydrocortisone, or Witch Hazel
- Ointments: Petroleum jelly or Zinc oxide
- Suppositories: Anusol or Dulcolax
Consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and personalized advice.

I had a sentinel skin tag removed surgically but my doctor didn't treat the anal fissure causing it. Now I'm worried the skin tag might come back or get worse. How do I handle this chronic fissure to prevent more issues?
If a sentinel pile is present, it too may be removed to promote healing of the fissure. This may be combined with either injection with Botox or sphincterotomy.
