I've tried creams, baths, etc and nothing will get rid of my hemmroid, so is it ok to pop it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a doctor: Have an examination with a doctor to be sure what you have. A painful thrombosed external hemorrhoid resolves with warm bsth soaks in a few days, or see a surgeon for removal of the hemorrhoid. Do not recommend trying to "pop" it.
