I have a tear in the anus!?!


Question: it's right at the entrance, so not inside, u can see the broken skin and it hurts - i think it might have happened from being constipated but what is the next step?
do i have to get prescription from doc. or is there something you can get over the counter?

That's so funny.
I'm sorry.......GodBless You!

use neosporin and keep it clean. be careful when wiping. it will heal on its own.

its might be just a fiscar which is a small tear down there. it is common. you can put hydrocortasone cream on it, its over the counter or you can try a diaper rash cream to help promote healing.

you should go to your doctor, especially if you are still constipated. It could make it worse. make sure to keep it as clean as possible

just leave it, it should heal pretty quickly if it's only a small tear. it's not like you need stitches or anti biotics. if you think it's pretty bad, and its constantly bleeding, then you need to go to the doctors.

Had a similar problem. The doctor perscribed cortizone suppositories. You might try cortisone cream.

ouch so sorry to hear that.
you can get some cream from the docs for that

Yes, the body system, especially skin, can be healed by it own.
Yours is not a very dangerous case, just apply the medicine and keep it clean (with no moist after wash). Becareful when you wipe or sit.
If there was any worse, please go to the doctor.

I'm sure you'll be alright, just take care of it well. Good luck!

that is quite grose.

you are going to want to go to the doc, you need antibiotics at least because of all the bacteria from your feces that can get into that wound

Hemorrhoidal suppositories for now. You probably have really bad hemorrhoids if it's not bleeding profusely you don't need to go to the doctor. If you are spotting on the paper then that's not a tear. You need to get on a fiber supplement. Fiber is very important for your overall body health. If you are constipated all the time, then you may be poisoning yourself from the inside. Keep it flowing, you need to go at least 1 to 2 times a day. Get fiber not laxatives! Laxatives make your bowel lazy. It's actually has a name Lazy Bowel Syndrome. Seriously! You might want to try a Welles Step. Just google Welles Step and you'll see what I mean.
