Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a hemrroid which started bleeding (ruptured?) about a week ago. It has stopped bleeding but now seems to have a red circle on it. The hemrroid is skin coloured. Could this be a blood clot where it was bleeding from? It is also now itchy (yes i wipe properly and rise it well at least once a day). Can i use preparation h on it? Will it go away or should i go to doctor? Ive had them before just never had bleeding. Even wighout an active hemroid the always seems to be some loose skin there.
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted your history of hemorrhoid, the bleeding and now the red circle on it. Since there is a history of a skin tag before this happening, I would advise you to take a consultation of a General Surgeon to get a clinical evaluation actual examination, proctoscopy to see the grade of hemorrhoid and colonoscopy to rule out any colonic pathology. This will give the correct diagnosis and a plan for further treatment. Till then have Sitz bath. Keep the area clean with ample of water and then dry the area with hair dryer to avoid soddening. Applying some ointments does not help much. Take a laxative if you have constipation. Take full normal diet high in fiber contents.
