Will witch hazel dry out my skin and make anal fissure worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Witch Hazel: is not ONLY DRYING it's IRRITATING!.... You need to consult with your PCP about ways to treat your anal fissure. SITZ baths in hot (but not BURNING)Water may help the discomfort! Hope this is helpful Dr Z
