A member asked:
My anus seems to be easily irritated after treating myself (ointments, washing) for an external hemorrhoid several months ago. what can i do?

Avoid scrubbing: After each bm clean yourself with soft bathroom paper using a lubricating lotion such as aveeno (oatmeal). Clean inside the anus. Whenever you have an urge, use the nearest toilet as soon as you can. After a fart or whenever it feels itchy or irritated, clean with soft paper & moisturizer, clean inside the anus.
