Hi everyone,  
I keep getting small paper like perineum tears that heal within 1-2 days but whenever I pass bowel movement, the tear appears again but heals quickly as well. I dont have any white patches or other symptoms like itchiness or pain urinating, only the perineum cuts. I got diagnosed with anal fissure when I went to the doctors but the doctor didnt really say much about the cuts. Im starting to think I might have LS and cannot stop worrying. I have an appointment booked for this week but in the meantime just would like to have some thoughts from everyone and what possibly it could be? I heard LS leads to anal fissures. These cuts have been occuring for around 8 weeks

Thanks in advance xx

If you have LS you will have white patches that dont heal quick. Plus they really itch. I have had LS for 5 years and theres days you could scratch your labias off they itch so bad. But i sat in baking soda and borax water thats warm to make it feel better. plus the gave me clobetasole to put on me 2 times a week

Hi Brenda,  
That sounds really tough Im sorry to hear :(. What were your earliest symptoms? Did you get cuts everywhere or just on a certain area of the vulva? I’m only 19 so am a little bit worried but hopefully I dont have it as the only thing I have are the tears which do heal very quickly, but rips again after bowel movements

Thanks

Maiya, Do you take any vitamins? I suggest vitamin b complex, 2x a day, morning and night. Let us know if this helps or what the dr says.
