Hemorrhoid : Wiping with tucks (witch hazel) pads as well as using a hemorrhoid cream with pain relief properties as well as Hydrocortisone will help. Also make sure in the future that you are eating a lot of fiber to help soften your stools to prevent ongoing trouble.

Sitz bath: You could get a sitz bath or improvise. A sitz bath enables to sit in a bowel of warm water for an extended period of time. The warm water helps the hemrroids to shrink back in and relieves the discomfort. Avoid adding any salts like epsom salt or table salt as this may burn or irritate the area. Pure aloe vera gel can also help. These would work for external hemrroids.
