I had a bad bout of messy BMs from something and just was unable to clean up...it just kept leaking out and much too much wiping. I developed a fissure right inside the anal opening. Have been using Vit E and coconut oil on it as I am allergic to most medications. I now seem to feel a painful lump in that area as I was getting washed (right at edge but hubby can't see anything. I understand that coconut oil is an antimicrobial so can I continue to use it on this now. Does it sound like I have caused an abscess? I have healed fissures in the past with coconut oil but they were a bit further in than this one. Horribly painful.
Scared since I am so limited with meds...only antibiotics I can take is Keflex family and Levaquin family. Also allegic to lanolin which is in everything for down there. I was also told by myh urologist not to do sitz baths because I have a prolapsed urethra and lots of scar tissue and it has been constantly sore for years so I am prone to UTIs and try to stay as clean as possible, even to the point of using hand held shower after a BM if even slightly messy. Otherwise a baby wipe will do.
Please any info you can give me would be appreciated. Thank you.
