Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM
I have gone through your question.
Based on the information provided by you, it looks like anal fissure. It can be diagnosed by physical exam, that is by looking at the fissure by gently separating the buttocks.
I would suggest you to see doctor to confirm the diagnosis.
Management firstly includes avoiding the constipation for that eat diet rich in fiber, Drink plenty of fluids. Stool softener can be considered if dietary alteration does not help.
Sitz bath 2 to 3 times a day. It soothes the torn tissue and helps relax the internal anal sphincter.
Anusol cream be applied 2 times daily for week. Avoid using tissues, prefer baby wipes.
With the following measures, you should be fine in a week.
Hope this helps.
I'll be glad to address your further queries.
Take care.
