Thanks Lois. Well, my problems were not like razor blades, so maybe they weren't fissures!!! lol.. A lot of the problem seemed exeternal, like there were splits in my skin in that entire area, like I had another crack forming. I did use the cortifoam last week and think that is when things turned around. I read something on the site that made me think to use the cortifoam. It is odd.. I think I have crohn's because of these symptoms, the positive blood test, fever of unknown origin last week and arthritic symptoms. Also, the week before all this got I also had mouth problems at the same time. I called my doctor today. Originally, I saw my gp and they gave me meds for yeast but that didn't help at all. I take 8 pills a day and had missed quite a few doses. Will try not to do that again. They told me I had diverticular colitis in January. We'll see. Now, I have to talk to the nurse before I can see anybody. It is clearing up now!
Thanks again for your reply, Lois. Good luck to you as well.
