How To Ease Pain Along The Inter Gluteal Cleft?
I have a split along the entire inter gluteal cleft which was bleeding freely until I folded a few tissues and placed the pad between the cheeks. I am on clexaine 40mg bd and trimethoprim 150 daily. How do I ease the pain. The bleeding appears to have stopped.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is most probably an anal fissure. You can apply lignocaine/nifecaine ointment which are quite effective for this condition. Do sits bath and include more finer rich foods in your diet as straining for stool worsen the condition and pain. If the pain persist, better to consult a general surgeon and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
