What is the over-the-counter medicine for external lumpy hemorroids? it is the size of a grape
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: What you describe is an external thromboses hemorrhoid, unfortunately medicine does not help absorb the blood clot, but it usually resolves on it's own over a few days, warm bath may give you temporary relief or if severe physician can lance/excise it in the office.
