Should I stop pushing my finger in my anus to apply oil and cream etc? I think its making me worse

Guys I think putting my finger in my anus is making this far worse, maybe I should put absolutely nothing in there and just leave it be and hope it heals?

    It's going to be painful but first work around the anus and then slightly insert medication if your doctor told you too. don't try to stick your finger all the way up there. Right now you are in too much pain so be gentle to that area. 2 or 3 sitz bath per day should help. the heat will send blood to that area to heal the fissure.
