Hi, I am a male, 20 years old, and am pretty sure that I have a thrombosed external hemroid (sp?). I noticed it yesterday and it is not very bothersome, painful, or even bleeding . It is smaller than a pea size. I have never had these before and I am wondering if it will eventually go away on its own. I am using Preparation H on it and keeping it clean and dry. Is there a way that it will go away so I can avoid going to the doctors office to have surgery?
