I no longer have pain from my fissure, but an unbareable itch.  I unfortunetely don't always have wet wipes available and use regular toilet paper after a bowel movement.  I find if I don't clean the area, I get an itch, and it gets so unbareable that I use toilet paper to scratch this itch.  When I do this I seem to give myself stomach aches and it feels like a gas build up in my large intestines.  Does this occur with anyone else after they give in and scratch that itch?

    I know the feeling, been there. I use vaseline and that helps tremendously!! Especially before going to bed. I put alot. This will help from being so dry and help the itch decrease as well.  Good Luck I hope it helps

    Try somee zinc oxide in the form of calmoseptine which has menthol to soothe the area down there as well. Calmoseptine can be bought at almost any local drugstore and can be bought online too.
