Hemorrhoids: Allow the tissues to heal but stop putting Colgate toothpaste on your anus. It wasn't designed for those delicate tissues.

Chemical burn: Toothpaste is formulated for safe use in your mouth, not elsewhere. The chemical burn will heal.Ask your pharmacist for an analgesic ointment. And please don't put toothpaste anywhere where it doesn't belong.
