A member asked:

Is it normal for a fissure to spot (bleed) on occasion even when it's been healing? doctor said it's improved. currently using nitroglycerin ointment.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Intermittent bleeding is normal. Avoid constipation at all costs and it will heal, though they often take a long time.
