Specializes in Colon and Rectal Surgery

They won't "go away": except with surgery. Whatever caused your flare up, ie constipation , diarrhea, excessive straining, dehydration due to caffeine/alcohol needs to be addressed if they are to settle down.

First hemorrhoid. Not sure if internal or external, but I can view it by looking in a mirror and spreading a bit. It was purple two days ago, but I applied Witch Hazel twice for about 5 minutes each time. Now its white. Should I be concerned?
