Intense itching from anal fissure....

I have an anal fissure and possibly some more problems, I'm soon to have an internal investigation by camera (sorry forgot name and notes are in the car) The itching around my anus and perennial area is just too much to bear. I try to ignore it, and bathe it it salt water or plain water or even diluted witchhazel. I'm red raw now and using rectogesic x3 a day and also Cavilon cream which acts as a waterproof barrier. I also have instillagel which is a god send and like bonjela for my bum (surgeons description)

Anyone else suffered with the itching? I'd much appreciate any tips and advice.

Thank you....

    I have found that Zyrtec will stop the itch within 20 minutes and for me I don’t itch for about 36 to 48 hours, which gives time for healing.  I have been itching for about 10 years.  I suspect it is a rash of some sort that can be solved with a cream.  I am still looking. My sister is a smart Doc, she will figure something out.  The other Docs I have been to are of no help.  I have never been allergic to anything in my life, and they say it is an allergic reaction, no way.  I will update if I find anything good, but why we search use Zyrtec, it works very good.
