Anal fissures: Maintain good hygiene. Frequent soaking in warm bath water helps. Try stool softeners like Colace or Miralax (polyethylene glycol) that pulls water into the colon to prevent additional injury. (Just to make you laugh, please refrain from wearing thong-type underwear that can cause abrasions.)
