Keep your poo as soft as you can. I take a TSB of olive oil (organic) everyday before my main meal and it helps.
Use a sitz bath after a poo. This keeps the area clean and will heal faster.
Never wipe your @rse; dab your @rse with wet loo roll and loo roll that's as natural as can be. No scented stuff!
Also, try not to clench the muscles in your @rse. This inhibits the healing process. I'm a serial @rse-clencher - that and my jaw - so I do progressive muscle relaxation to untense them.
