What Causes Itching Around The Anus While Suffering From Anal Fissures?
I have two anal fissures getting treated with nifedipine ointment by my gastroenterologist. I had hemmoriods banded prior and suffered approx 8 months before I reached out for help. My gastroenterologist states I only have fissures and the hemmoriods are ok now. I still have severe itching around 5pm every day and around midnight tingling feeling back exterior of anus opening . The itching it so intense and I cry , they prescribed me lidocaine hydrochloride 2%. What could be wrong?
