Thrombosis: Hemorrhoids are blood vessels and like other veins can sometimes form clots. An external hemorrhoid that doesn't go away or keeps coming back painfully may have a clot. Best to get it checked by your doctor. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Surgical treatment: An external hemorrhoid that hurts or persists is due to a blood clot in it. I would recommend seeing a surgeon and having it drained. If it persists despite that then surgical excision is the best next thing. Also it is important to avoid new ones by changing habits. www.drlugo.com
