Hello! I'm Dr. Nikhil Aggarwal. I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing discomfort due to a fissure. Fissures can be quite painful and can make daily activities difficult. There are several over-the-counter ointments and creams that can help relieve the pain and irritation associated with fissures. One such cream is called "Recticare." It contains 5% lidocaine, which is a local anesthetic that can help numb the area and provide relief from pain. Another option is "Preparation H," which contains phenylephrine, a vasoconstrictor that can help reduce swelling and inflammation. It's important to note that these creams should only be used as directed and for a limited period of time. If your symptoms persist or worsen, you can consult me for further evaluation and treatment.
