Colorectal surgeon: I would see a colorectal surgeon. You may also need a colonoscopy. Sometimes a fissure will respond to Nitroglycerin based topical creams, sometimes an operation is required. It will all work out though, an you should be fine.

Patience: Few treatment are effective for the short term pain of anal fissures. Some benefit from warm soaks, topical anesthetic creams, etc. Medications to relieve the muscle spasm can be prescribed, as well as Botox injections and surgery in severe cases.
