Dear Whitneybowman,
Thank you for using Ask a doctor. Hope I can be of help for you today. Yes, it is look like hemorrhoid. You can use a sitz bath or bath to soak yourself in warm water. You can do this every 4 hours a day. This can help your hemorrhoid to be shrink. Dietary and lifestyle is very helpful. You should eat fiber food and drink plenty of water 2 liters per day. Some medication can help hemorrhoid but its not long term treatment. You can try topical analgesic and steroid such as hydrocortisone/lidocaine, are effective for relieving acute pain associated with hemorrhoids. However, you should not use it more than 1 week. You should see a doctor bleeding with bowel movement because bleeding could be caused by something other than hemorrhoids, so you should have it checked out.
Hope I answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Best regards,
Dr. Heang Chan Raksmey, General and Family Physician.
