External Hemorrhoid (ass)

[smluka]

bit embarrassing, but does anyone know how to get rid of one of these?

Small ones will sometimes resolve on their own, although you have to control diet (lots of fiber), be gentle with it, and keep the area very clean to promote healing. I had had one many years ago. My doctor said it was not serious, but offered to remove it anyway. I declined, and eventually it withered away. If it is painful (mine usually wasn't, although occasionally became inflamed), there are various creams and ointments on the market to make things more comfortable while you are waiting to see what happens. The non-surgical removal suggested by my GP was ligation, which is simply tightly tying off the hemorrhoid at the base with a thread or tiny rubber band. This cuts off the circulation, and within about a week it shrivels up, drys out, and falls off. (However, ligation is not always suitable for external hemorrhoids.) Other than being gentle with the area, you don't have to do anything special while the ligation is running its course. For more serious cases, there are various surgical, cryo, or laser procedures done by specialists.

cryo or laser in that sensitive area just sounds.... like a last resort.

Preparation h suppository paired with the strongest topical ointment you can find used externally. As stated before keep it clean.

thank you both very much!

There is a foam medication I've used that my doc prescribed me that was extremely helpful. Miralax is also useful for stool softening and making the process easier while healing

without a doctor, a saltwater solution applied to the area twice a day, and sitting on a plastic bag of ice cubes (with them having contact with the hemmoroid in question) for about 20min a night, every 5 min with 5 min intervals.
this may take a few weeks, but it does work. (consulting a doctor will have much quicker methods)

I’ve found applying a teabag has really helped mine settle. Also using a mix of coconut oil with tea tree oil.

How long did yours take to go away? I’ve had an external one for a week now. It doesn’t hurt but it looks pretty large and doesn’t seem like it’s going away

I had it for years, but it usually didn't bother me, and being a total top, I just ignored it. One day, I noticed it was gone.

lots of anal, but with hot sauce as lube.
