Have Hemorrhoids And Itching. Used Hemorrhoid Cream. Swollen, Painful Glands
Hi i am a female who has been having problems with hemoroids and itching. Have used hem cream but think it is making worse not better it burns after I use it. Also I have swollen glands one appeared a week ago and was very large and painful but was not open sore . Now that one seems to be going down in size but one now has started on other side closer to anus. My question is , am I having a reaction to the hem cream I used or do I have glands that are swelling and if so why?
