Does this sound like a fissure?
For about a month now I've been feeling like a brush burn sensation on one side sometimes when I have a BM, and recently discovered that I have a sore spot just inside when I apply hemorrhoid ointment to myself. Haven't had pain more than like a 2, no blood, and I wouldn't say it feels like glass as is often described. Just like rough skin or an old bruise. Generally doesn't hurt unless I poke it or aggravate it though.
I've never had a fissure to my knowledge so I'm unfamiliar. Had hemorrhoids for a long time. Had them banded a couple months ago and since then I've had proctalgia fugax occasionally and sometimes seems like my butt is super tightened up in itself.
I'll go back to the CRS eventually but just wanted to see if this sounds like what a fissure could feel like.
