Care of hemorrhoids: Piles or external hemorrhoids can be treated with daily shower, hair dryer the area, over the counter salves, Lidocaine gel, and a bowel regimen. The goal is two soft bowel movements daily, to help decrease the rectal irritation of passing hard, large caliber stools. If your problem persists despite the above care, okay to check in with your doc.

Time works but...: Depends on what you have already tried. The first things are conservative including infcreasing fluid and fiber in diet to ensure that you bms are soft, losing weight, limiting the time sitting on the toilet. Flare ups are then treated with creams, ointments. If still a problem you could try banding and finally excision/ligatiom. Surgery is really the only definitive treatment for this.
