Aloe Vera
The gel inside aloe leaves has been used for thousands of years to treat burns, wounds and other skin ailments. So, it’s no surprise that aloe is an ideal treatment for soothing pain and repairing the delicate tissue in the anus. A study published in the European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences found that a topical cream containing 0.5 percent aloe vera juice powder worked well to treat chronic anal fissures.
But most commercial aloe creams and lotions contain very little pure aloe. So, they may not have much effect. Instead, use pure aloe obtained from an aloe leaf. Simply, cut off a few inches from one leaf of an aloe plant. Slice it lengthwise, and scrape out the gel using a spoon. Then, apply it directly to the affected area. Repeat as needed throughout the day.
