I had one once. It took about 10 days of the following:

DO NOT use toilet paper after a bowel movement. Get Tucks or Prep H wipes.Toilet paper only irritates the area.

Warm baths every day, twice a day if you can.

Ice bag to help reduce swelling. They have very small gel packs that you can put bwtween your "cheeks".

Pain meds.

hi, there are some solution and tips can help you to relief external hemriods:

1) Sitz baths with lukewarm water several times daily for about 10-15 minutes. After the bath tub sitting, the affected area should be dried gently with a clean towel in order to remove wetness from the area. When the affected area is left wet, this would cause an adverse effect – the hemorrhoids would get enlarged and more painful.

2) Ice packs applied and withdrawn carefully reduce pain and swelling.

3) Application of hemorroidal suppositories alleviates discomfort and pain significantly.

4)Hemorroidal creams, cortisone creams, Vaseline and petroleum jelly would bring an instant improvement of the external hemorrhoids.

5)Wearing loose underwear is a must. The fabric of the garments should be of natural origin, preferably cotton or silk.

6)Cleaning the affected area after bowel movement by a gentle use of wet wipes helps control the itching and irritation of the anus.

7)Taking aspirin or acetaminophen (panadol) relieves the pain temporarily.

Surgical methods also can for curing external hemorrhoids.
