A fissure is a tear that splits or cracks to form a long, narrow opening.
Fissures can be shallow or deep, may bleed or be painful.
They can appear especially between toes, around heel of feet, fingertips, palms, external ear, eyelids, breasts nipples, anus and vulva.
Skin fissures are cracks that form due to intense dryness and thickened skin.
Extreme dryness is seen in women due to loss of oestrogen who are entering the menopause.
Anal fissure is one of the most common conditions.
It is a small tear in the thin, moist tissue – mucosa that lines the anus.
Anal fissures are very common in young infants and middle-aged adults but can affect people of any age.
