Question about external hemorrhoid?
Hi, I currently have an external hemorrhoid and I have it for about 5 days now. It is about the size of a pea and I noticed that it became smaller since i first had it 5 days ago. I have been using Anugesic-HC to treat my hemorrhoid problem. Also, I noticed that everytime I have my bowel movement there is a bright red blood everytime I wipe it. This is not new to me since I got internal hemorrhoid before it happened.
However, the thing that makes me worried is that I am always seeing red marks on my underwear. The external hemorrhoid does not hurt much like it was 5 days ago but the frequent marks on my underwear makes me worried.
My question is that if it is normal? I don’t know what’s causing it but I think it’s because of the medicine I apply on the hemorrhoid but I could not afford to ignore the problem because I see the marks everytime. I am not even sure if it’s the medicine that’s causing the marks or something is leaking.
Btw, I already went to the doctor and he gave me Anugesic and he also told me that I don’t have anal fistula. Please give me a good answer and for those who have experienced external hemorrhoid I want to know if you have experienced this too. Thank You.

Nothing to worry about. Once the HC ointment shrinks it enough, it will stop bleeding. It’s also possible that you may have an internal hemorrhoid in addition to the external one that may be bleeding too.
Perfectly normal. They bleed a bit.
