Get examined: There are many excellent options; however, you will need a rectal exam to determine the best therapy. Try swithing to Anusol with hydrocortisone until seen.

Sitz Baths: Sit in a bathtub with enough warm water to reach the hemorrhoid. Sit in it for a few minutes a few times a day and see if this manages symptoms. It helps to spread the buttocks gently to allow the water to get to the area. If pain becomes great or this is otherwise unmanageable due to itching or bleeding, have a medical practitioner take a look to see if more aggressive intervention is indicated.
