Fissure?: That sounds like an anal fissure. You should be evaluated by a physician for diagnosis and treatment right away. You will be able to get a prescription for a good numbing medicine.

Anal fissure: The most common treatment for an acute anal fissure consists of making the stool more formed and bulky with a diet high in fiber and over-the-counter fiber supplementation. Stool softeners and increasing water intake may be necessary to promote soft bowel movements. Topical anesthetics for pain and warm tub baths for 10-20 minutes after bowel movement may promote relaxation and help.

Stool softener: The first thing is to keep hydrated, take sufficient fiber, take fiber laxative if your food does not have enough fiber. Make sure your stool is soft. Sitting in warm water may help. You may try over the counter treatments for anal fissure.
