A member asked:
I have an external hemrhoid about the size of a grape. it is draining a bunch and it has a foul odor. should i go to the doctor? i've had it 5 days.

Yes: While this may be a hemorrhoid it may also be a pilonidal cyst or other draining fistula. It is best to have someone take a look at it.
