Witch hazel: Tucks pads contain witch hazel as the active ingredient. You can get this in generic form and some cotton pads. This should work fine. Tucks shouldn't be used as wipes. They should keep in contact with hemorrhoids to reduce the swelling.

No: Tucks, (witch hazel) such as tummy tucks (witch hazel) or lifts, not only remove fat, but also skin. There are no medications that can do this.

No problem: As long as you use on skin surfaces and do NOT ingest it orally, no potential issue.
