Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 21 yr old female. Ihad an external hemorrhoid a few days ago which increased to the size of a pea on the 4th day. I applied crushed raw garlic cloves at the area overnight and also the next day for about an hour nd a half. I realised that i have garlic burns around my anus, nd in between my anus & vagina. The skin around anus has a burning sensation, while the skin between anus nd vg is saggy like a blister.The blister has little liquid in it and it pains a little. I have been applying pilex ointment from the day i identified the hemorrhoid. The hemorrhoid hasn t gone away yet. How do i treat the garlic burns?
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. Hemorrhoids can be treated only by means of cryosurgery. You need to visit a Surgeon or Proctologist to get it done. If you have applied Garlic and cloves, it would have caused mucosal damage and it doesn't cure hemorrhoids. In fact it worsens your condition. You can apply Povidine and Soframycin cream to treat skin and mucosal injuries.
