Hello, doctor. I had an anal fissure for about two weeks now, and I notice what people call a sentinel pile , or skin tag. I am taking hot showers every time in the morning, and I notice my condition is improving on a daily basis. Also, every time I feel the tag on the outside, I am trying to push it inside. The pharmacist has prescribed me procto glyvenol, but I found out that it is mainly for hemorroids, and what I am seiing, even though I have never suffered from hemorroids before, I see that the next day after I use the cream I get really bad hemorroids. When I don t use the cream, no hemorroids. My question is, do these tags get healed by themselves, if left alone? I already feel that my fissure is improving noticeably, even after two weeks, whereas before the pain was unbearable. I really don t want to look for surgery, I just want some reasurrance or advice to help it heal naturally. Thank you, Adrian
