I had surgery to repair a fistula about 2 1/2 years ago and it still has not healed. Its close but because of the location of the surgery its

almost impossible to stay off of it. I usually clean it with saline daily and put gauge on it or in it and cover with a 4x4 or 6x6 bandage

What I do is press down on the edge of the bandage nearest the anal to keep the fistula clean.. it works for me but everyone

is different. good luck

I haven’t had a fistula. But my Syncrozap always helps heal any sores or inflammation. Also, I use Lugol’s iodine solution. This kindof iodine is made with drinking alcohol rather than isoprophyl alcohol. Unlike other iodines, Lugol’s can be used internally and externally.
