Anal fissure may be acute or Chronic.You need to observe for whether yellowish pustules you captured are just skin origin or from inside..
That means once they burst open they just emit liquid and become scarred which means confined to skin..
Or if continuously discharge or pus getting out of it..which means fistula..
So if second one is the case go for per rectal examination and MRI if indicative
Next Steps
Go for per rectal examination

Neglected Fissure in Ano notorious for recurrent perianal Infection (bacterial only e.g painful or fungal followed by secondary bacterial infection, e.g itching followed by pain)..
However you crossed the acute stage. This condition needs proper consultation from the surgeon.
Primary fissure -> secondary infection. Treat the primary cause
So, Surgeon is the right choice
Next Steps
You may need " Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy" with or without Sentinel Skin tag removal.
Kindly consult the qualified Surgeon at the earliest
Thank you
