^exactly what she said. I got one the day I was induced ? it comes and goes, but I follow the process of witch hazel and I literally soak a cotton ball and put it on the hemorrhoid and leave it. It’s helped a lot
Thanks so much girls. I only have the witch hazel wipes, so Imma go after work and get a bottle of it. Do you know if you can do a Sitz bath with witch hazel? I've been doing just regular water ones, but Hubby suggested adding the witch hazel to it.
You can. I’m not sure if you use essential oils, but lavender is a great one to use. I’d run some warm water. Get 1/2 cup of Epsom salt and add 2 tbsp of witch hazel, 2 tbsp olive oil and add 5-8 drops of lavender essential oil. Mix it all together and add it to the water
I have lavender Epsom salt so I'll definitely try soaking my booty in it with witch hazel. Even if it doesn't help it's a great excuse to hide in the bathroom for 30 minutes ??
Also be sure you are loading yourself up with a high fiber diet, flax seed etc., and squatty potty (Amazon) to help prevent future agitation once it starts to reduce swelling.

Ok.
So this is what you do.
Which hazel - ten you press on it trying to stick it on. More which hazel.
If you have Rx strength cortisone cream - 2.5% then it will be gone in couple of days.
Other than that OTC cortisone will work much slower.

Awesome, I'll definitely try that. My mom gets RX cortisone for a skin condition so I'll get some from her.
