Hello and welcome to HCM,
External hemorrhoids are caused when the hemorrhoids prolapse and cannot be reduced back into the anal canal.
Conservative treatment is not suited for external prolapsed hemorrhoids.
Surgical treatment is the definitive treatment for this condition.
Thus, I suggest you to consult a surgeon for clinical assessment and thus surgical excision of the external hemorrhoids.
Thanks and take care
