Hi,
You have been using steroid cream.
So now there is no need for applying it.
You can take dietary fiber and stool softener syrup like cremaffin syrup to help in fissure.
Usually it takes 6-8 weeks for healing of fissure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to anal fissure.
I recommend taking daily probiotics to avoid constipation.
I also recommend to drink liquids and eat fiber-rich diet.
If you have further complications I suggest to consult a surgeon for further evaluation.
