I've been dealing with recurring anal fissures for the past six months and the pain makes sitting unbearable at times There's also a skin tag near the back and the fissures seem to surround it Can both the fissure and skin tag be removed in one surgery How long does the healing usually take after that

Fissure and skin tag can be treated together with laser or surgical excision; healing takes 2–4 weeks typically.
