Are steroid creams (proctozone hc) effective for treating anal fissures?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They can help, : But by themselves will not heal a fissure. You need to correct your diarrhea or constipation and maintain a regular bowel patter if there is any chance of healing without surgery.
