I have had hard stools once and tore my anus because i saw blood on the tissue. My anus now seems to be infected. I am using panderm ointment. Am i doing right? I will never go to the clinic for that!

For starters hygiene is very critical in the case of anal fissures: in addition to regular hygienic means, the best is to do "Sitz baths" which are warm water and Betadine solution, 2-3 times per day (sit for ~15 min). Fucidin is enough, no need for Panderm. Also dietary changes to avoid constipation, especially lots of water and fibers (hard stools will cause recurrent anal fissures).
