A member asked:

Think i have a hemorrhoid. appeared about 3 months ago, was sensitive and 'zit-like'. better now, but can still feel the bump and sensitive (little bleedy) when i wipe. constipated constantly! does the two relate to each other? how can i fix this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Skin tag ?: This might be an external hemorrhoid or a skin tag.If you are constipated chronically you can either generate pressure that triggers the hemorrhoid or a past anal fissure triggered by moving a hard lump may have healed with a skin tag. Getting your stools in a better form can help. A water trapping agent like Miralax (polyethylene glycol 3350) can be taken daily to soften poop & help.
