I think I have one as embarrassing as it may be.
Has anyone else ever had one and if so was there anything you used to help make it heal? Creams you could by from Boots or something. I have read that 90% heal on their own, however, I am sure it's been about a month and nothing has changed.
Any advice or words of comfort will be much appreciated! I'm reluctant to go to the doctors for obvious reasons!
Thanks.

Trust me they won't bat an eye lid, they have seen it all before and more. If it has been there for a month and still not gone then you do need to have it checked out :yes:
If it helps see if you can get to see a woman Dr, it might make the situation a little bit more comfortable.
In the meantime if it is an anal fissue, take plenty of water, eat plenty of fresh fruit and veg and try not to strain when going to the loo.
I had a banana tonight, not that one will make a difference but I am just going to have to make a conscious effort to drink more water and eat more fruit. I'll give it two more weeks doing that and if nothing then I will be brave and head to the doctors I think.
