Asked for female, 23 years old from Lucknow

I am 21 years old and living in the United States and from September 2016, I've been suffering from rectal bleeding and pain. It's recurring, sometimes stays for 3-4 weeks or even more, sometimes for 2-3 days. II've started eating fibrous food so my stool isn't even hard anymore, but still the rectal bleeding keeps back coming after every other week. The doctors here gave an external rectal exam and found no external hemorrhoids, and suggested that either they're internal or it could be a fissure. They gave an ointment, Hydrocortisone Acetate Pramoxine HCI cream, which didn't work for me. When I pass stool during these times, it pains a lot, almost unbearable. And on the tissue paper, there's bright red blood. I take warm showers and eat fibrous food, but the pain remains for at least 12-14 hours.

Dear lybrate-user,
You might be suffering from a fissure in ano.
This may not be an acute fissure, as the doctors were able to do per rectal examination, suggests you don't have anal spasm.
I suggest you to start SITZ BATH for 10-15 minutes for 3-4 times a day.
To reduce the anal sphincter tone NIFEDIPINE ointment is usually prescribed with LIGNOCAINE.
I suggest you to get a prescription for the same.
Apply them after SITZ BATH after drying the area. Don't forget to put a...more

Asked for male, 24 years old from Thane

I am suffering from chronic fissure, with little skin tag outside anus Sentinel pile. Initially I was having harsh pain in anus, so I went to doctor for treatment. He told there is crack in fissure. He has given me medicines for 2 weeks. Medicines are as 1.puffbuta,2.severe3.wellorab, 4.softovac - bowel regulator. One week past, today I again went to doctor to ask regarding skin tag, asked whether surgery is required. I also told there is much relief in my anus pain. But I am scared about Sentinel pile. Doctor said there is no need of surgery, there are many cases like this which are treated and cured by medicines without surgery. Also doctor said why you want to do surgery as it will have a harsh pain. And you will have to sit in home for 2-3 days after surgery. I am very much scared with surgery. But I am very much scared with skin tag. The doctor had also given me smuth cream which contains hydrocortisone acetate, calcium dobesilate, zinc. This is to be inserted deep inside anus. Currently I am not using it, shall I use it even if I have skin tag. I also don't know whether this fissure will be cured by medicines. I am very much scared. I have also started drinking milk 1cupwith lemon crushed in it, for better results. Also I am taking sits bath as told by doctor one to two times in a day. Please help, (Please briefly explain my problem my query that whether I will get rid from skin tag without surgery, and also suggest if any other remedy to get cure.

Hello dear Lybrate user, hi
Warm welcome to Lybrate.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly. Fissure gets better with medicines, sitz bath and keeping stools soft.
Fissure can happen again any type in case of excessively hard stools.
Even after operation fissure can happen again.
There is no cure of skin tag without surgery
But we do not recommend any type of surgery for skin tag, because it does not create you problems
whatever current issues are there they are du...more

Health Query

I’ve had redness on my penis that i’ve had a difficult time getting rid of. Initially, there were roundish red spots; later, after using a steroid, the roundish red spots disappeared, but a general redness remained, and continues still. Interestingly, i’ve noticed that when my penis is flaccid, the redness is hardly (or even not-at-all) noticeable. But invariably when it is erect – whether I have sex or not – it is quite red (ie. Head/glans and approximately two inches of the shaft directly below the head/glans). No problematic symptoms, like itching or pain (although slight burning during intercourse). But I find it very unsightly. The dermatologist who has now seen it twice thinks it is probably eczema, but isn’t sure. He said it could also be caused by fungal, allergic, friction, or other reasons. Here are the treatments i’ve tried: (1) first, I tried alclometasone dipropionate cream 0.05% twice daily for approximately 2 weeks. (2) then, for approximately two weeks, I applied ketoconazole cream 2% once a day (in the mornings), while simultaneously applying eucrisa (crisaborole) ointment 2% in the evenings. (3) then I tried orally taking claritin 10 mg for six days to see if it might be connected to allergies, even though I have no known allergies. (4) the last thing i’ve tried was applying protopic ointment 0.03% twice daily for approximately two weeks. While some of the above helped a bit, none of these got rid of the redness, which has remained the whole time since this redness first appeared (approximately four months ago). I’m thinking that the steroid probably worked best, but I do have some concern about using steroids on my penis skin, as i’ve heard it can problematically thin out that skin, but i’m willing to take some risk with this. I have tubes of what I believe to be two different steroids that I haven’t used yet for this problem: triamcinolone acetonide cream 0.1%, and clotrimazole and betamethasone dipropionate cream 1%/0.05% (base). Should I try either of them on my penis (or maybe even try over-the-counter hydrocortisone 1%, although this may be too weak to do much?) any other suggestions? (3) then I tried orally taking claritin 10 mg for six days to see if it might be connected to allergies, even though I have no known allergies.

I’m thinking that the steroid probably worked best, but I do have some concern about using steroids on my penis skin, as i’ve heard it can problematically thin out that skin.

I have tubes of what I believe to be two different steroids that I haven’t used yet for this problem: triamcinolone acetonide cream 0.1%, and clotrimazole and betamethasone dipropionate cream 1%/0.05% (base). These were prescribed to me for redness on another part of my body, but i’m wondering if it makes sense to try either of them on my penis (or maybe even try over-the-counter hydrocortisone 1%, although this may be too weak to do much?) I would be most appreciative of any input here. I realize diagnosing something like this without actually seeing it limits the helpfulness of your opinions, but it would still be very helpful to hear what opinions/guesses experienced professionals have about what this redness on my penis is, and most importantly, what I might do to get rid of it. Thank you very much in advance for any and all input.

Hydrocortisone. An anti-itch cream is another common way to soothe itchy skin. Get an anti-itch cream that contains at least 1 percent hydrocortisone.

Generally 2.5 to 3.5 kg weight loss per month dosent cause any problems. You lost too much weight too fast and body is still adjusting to it. Don't go for zero carbs currently. Moderate carb consumption will avoid hypoglycemia which is causing all your symptoms. But do not stop your exercise. It is important not to loose the will to maintain the weight loss. Only way is to exercise more
