Just that. It started twenty years ago and have to keep it from splitting by putting emulsifying ointment or sudacreme on it every day. The trouble is that the spit was a thin red line but over the years the scar tissue has widened. It can be very painful so that sitting down is uncomfortable until healing is complete. I once asked a GP about it and when I told her about the emulsifying cream she said she didn’t know what else I can do. That I must come back if it gets infected. Has anyone else had this problem?
