I'm sorry to say that I have had to deal with external hemorrhoids. I've dealt with a few different brands of otc ointments and suppositories for my hemorrhoids.
Although I did try a lot of different otc medicines for hemorrhoids, It seem to me the best was the witch hazel which seems to have provided the best relief from all that came with external hemorrhoids.
So that you can obtain the best out come when you using withc hazel hemorrhoids to treat your symptoms pertaing to your external hemorrhoids, get your self a bottle of hazel and a few cotton balls or cotton pads that will soak up the most liquid.
It really doesnt make any difference with the kind of hazel you by theres really no difference.
Ok, so you carefully put a cotton pad drinched with witch hazel onto the external hemorrhoid. There will be know problem if you leave the cotton ball on the hemorrhoid for a while.
There really would'nt be a problem leaving the cotton ball in place, it surely will dry out after a few hours. Of course the pad or ball will need to be changed out after you use the restroom.
Witch hazel hemorrhoids can and is easier and works better than these over the counter medicines. IInternal hemorrhoids canbe treated also with an enema bottle and some hazel diluted with water

If there is any blood contact a physician.
