I've had a chronic anal fissure for the last three months, and it's caused a small skin tag. Can medicine alone completely heal it, or is surgery the only permanent fix? Also, if I skip surgery, could things like constipation or anal sex make the fissure worse later on? Would really appreciate your advice.
