A member asked:
Is it possible to develop a second hemorrhoid behind an existing one, or could it be an abcess?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is possible: It is possible but depending on your symptoms I will suggest you get it checked by your doctor as an abscess needs to be treated right away while hemorrhoids can wait
