I was wondering if anyone gets superficial anal or vaginal fissures.  I had a bleeding one on my anus last night that I used my Beta-Val cream on and it hasnt vbled since.  Today I now have one vaginally.  I remember getting vaginal ones frequently as a kid and was passed off as being related to possible soap allergy.  For the past 7 years I have stick to the same soaps, (laundry and bathsoap) and I still get them.  I do tend to get more towards the end of my period, I think it may be due to the fact that I only use pads but I change them often enough even if they dont look like they need to be.

I just placed some beta val on the vaginal one and hope it gets better overnight like my anal one did. 

I started my new job today and informed my boss (also an RN) about my CD and my Dr appts.  The days where I have appts at 4:30 I will be able to work the early shift and get off at 4....from my building I have to go to another then catch a shuttle to the employee lot...sometimes you have to wait til the shuttle fills before it heads to the parking area.  I got out at 4:10 today and got to my car by about 4:20

The first question I asked when I arrived at my work area was where are the bathrooms.  There is one right outside the reception area and is for patients but I figure if I got to go and fast and its empty I'm going....they can blame a patient for my stink that way lol.  I had the luxury of not needing to have a BM at work today, had 1 in the am 1 when I got home and 1 after dinner.  I think it was since I barely ate breakfast just a tiny danish at the continental breakfast....drank lots tho coffee, tea and OJ as well as water.  Hopefully I will be able to avoid frequent trips to the RR but at least the boss knows why I may be in there often

I felt crummy after lunch like I was going to have to run, never came to that...sat when I got home and nothing but gas so far but I am sure after dinner I'll need to go

Im not exactly sure what a superficial vaginal fissure would be but now that you mention it I just might have one. I have had some odd pains and was always worried about a fistula. I took a look the other day and saw a spot that looked like a paper cut. I said, odd, looks like a butt fissure I get. Nah, can't be.... Maybe it was :) But yes, I get fissures that are there for a couple days and then heal on their own.

That is what they appear as is like s paper cut.  They sting with urine and tend to bleed on thw TP when wiping

Bath with epsome salts, no, it won't sting, it will help heal quicker though....then gently rub extra virgine olive oil, it's a natural anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-viral, it helps heal as well...trust me.

I used the beta val and by the morning it was healed....that med was prescribed for me by my old GI for hemmies.

I second the epsom salts as well as hydrocortisone cream

the beta val has cortizone in it, I wouldnt take a bath in my local water, just showers. The city water we have is sometimes brown....really brown. Currently it has a dirt like odor to it and teh only way to rid it of that scent and flavor is boiling it. When not dirt like it is over chlorinated, I figure the less exposure time the better.
