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.

I've been having issues with acidity and I'm trying to figure out what might be causing it. I have milk, honey, chapati bhaji, rice, and idli sambhar regularly. Can you help me figure out if any of these foods could be contributing to my acidity problems and if I should avoid them?
To control acidity, consider avoiding or reducing the following items from your daily diet: none of the listed foods are inherently acidic, but chapati bhaji (if the bhaji is spicy or made with acidic ingredients) and Sambhar (if it contains acidic ingredients like tomatoes or citrus) might exacerbate acidity; however, the primary culprit is likely something not listed; also, consider avoiding or reducing other common acidity triggers like citrus fruits, tomatoes, spicy or fatty foods, caffeine, and carbonated drinks.

I've been having this intense pricking sensation right at the opening of my anus whenever I pass stools. It's not exactly painful the rest of the time, and there's no bleeding involved. I'm kind of worried about what might be causing this. Could it be something that needs attention or do you have any advice on how to deal with it?
It could be due to various reasons which requires physical examination to evaluate, suggesting for surgical consultation.
