The stronger the cracks, the more serious the discomfort. For example, itching can be followed by pain. Or last constantly, causing great inconvenience. Someone feels it only when sitting down, and someone is tormented around the clock from burning.

Cracks heal for 2-3 days if they do not get an infection. If there is an infection, the treatment lasts from 7 to 30 days. Therefore, it is important to monitor hygiene when itching very carefully.

The easiest way to prevent itching is by properly preparing for the anal and acting in the process. But if he has already appeared, it is important not to aggravate the situation. There are actions that lengthen the healing process and enhance discomfort. Itching is activated in several cases:

• After a bowel movement , if the skin is not thoroughly cleaned or hard toilet paper is used. It is better to wash off any residual water with water rather than paper.
• When wearing synthetic underwear. The skin does not breathe, it slows down the healing process. It is important to choose natural tissues for the duration of treatment. 
• Wearing a string. The tissue touches the injured area, worsens the condition of the delicate mucosa. It is ideal to replace panties with slips or shorts not touching the anus when worn. 
• When fogging the perineum. Especially true for overweight people. In hot weather, the skin is moisturized, which prevents the retraction of injuries. Baby powder helps with sweat. 
• With repeated anal fissures will only increase. Repeat this sexual intercourse is possible only after complete healing.
