First, if you are bleeding a lot you should see your doctor to make sure that it is hemorrhoids and nothing else that should be taken care of.

Second, please look at your diet. Any kind of excessive straining from constipation won’t help your cause. Excessive sugar, alcohol, and lack of fibre, juices and water will only make things worse.

A little exercise is also good.

Depending on how itchy you are – if at all – a simple bath with Epsom salts can help to relieve the pain. Lotions such as aloe vera, emu oil and witch hazel are also good. It really depends on how serious your condition is – but it’s always good to keep it simple to begin with.

These are natural so safe to apply internally as well which should help the skin to heal faster.

Unless your condition is serious and requires medication try to stay with natural products mainly because there are less side effects. But if your condition doesn’t improve then step it up a notch and try something else. Each case is very individual and only you know how your body responds to various treatments.

But diet is very important.
