I have a cut in my anal cleft. taking care of it doesnt hurt but doesnt seem to heal? cant see a doctor til march. what do i do?

Anal fissure: Keep bowel movements soft by taking a stool softener daily. After a bowel movement apply warm water compresses or sit in semihot water, pat dry. If there is accompanying itching, apply a cortisone ointment. A proctologist or colorectal surgeon are best to treat and provide follow-up for anal fissures.
