Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
I suddenly got a G1 hemorrhoid, which was hard like a rock and about the size of a pea. I started a 5-6 day course of medication, and now it's about half the size but still hurts a little. Can I use any OTC creams? I have severe body dysmorphia and don't want anyone to see my anus

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
To treat hemorrhoids at home, keep the area clean, apply cold compresses, use topical creams like aloe vera, and eat fiber-rich foods to soften stools. Aloe vera ointments are especially effective. If symptoms persist, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for further guidance.
Thanks
