A member asked:
Is hydrocortisone good to treat an anal fissure? how long to use if it is?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anal fissure?: No. The best treatment for anal fissure is to give two heaping tablespoons full of proctologist three times a day. All seriousness aside you need to have a proctologist look at this problem.
