Why These Was Breakout Of Bumps After Using Vaseline On Anal Fissure?
I had an anal fissure, and used vaseline to help soothe it. A few hours later, there was a breakout of pimple-looking bumps. They ruptured and now they are very sore and they leak. My partner and I are monogamous and neither of us has had sex with anyone else in 2 years. I don't feel like it could be herpes for that reason but plan in getting tested soon anyway. Any idea what this could be??

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
You really did the wrong thing, Vaseline is not the medicine for this if you have some problem like you said here "Fissure" then the steroid containing cream is the best for anal fissure, now I would like to advise you to apply this only this will come around soon take care and nothing to worry about this, bye
