Anal fissure: Sitz baths can help. Sit in the tub for 20-30 minutes at least twice a day. Apply a Lidocaine ointment after the bath. Also make sure you are on a non constipating diet which contains lots of fiber.If after treatment you are not improving see a gastroenterologist to rule out an irritable bowel syndrome.

About a month: With the help of prescription compounded Nitroglycerin cream or Nifedipine cream they typically heal within a month. Ask your dr for a prescription, and get some relief!
