Nitroglycerin: If you have already tried taking stool softeners, fiber, sitz baths, and applying antibiotic ointment to the fissures and they are still coming back, you may want to ask your doctor if nitroglycerin ointment applied to the area is an option for you. It has been shown to be very effective in healing chronic fissures for good.
