Specializes in Colon and Rectal Surgery

Probably a : Small external hemorrhoid and shoud go away on its own in 7-10 days. Avoid constipation and diarrhea and straining, soak in warm water for 15-20 minutes, no more. If increased pain, swelling or bleeding see a colorectal surgeon for an office surgery.
