Hello ma'am, are you referring to hemorrhoids? Is there any blood, for example when you wipe yourself?
Are you currently taking any other medications?

Hello,
I think it's hemorrhoids but I'm not sure because I've never had one before. For the moment no blood but a bluish lump that comes out.
I take Synthroid, M B12, Seroquel XR, Lamictal, Cipralex and Calcium/Vit. D.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm sorry for the delay I didn't see the notification!
For irritation at this level, an ointment like Anusol Plus can be applied twice a day and after each bowel movement if needed.
It is also suggested to use unscented wet wipes or a clean towel with water, or a bidet if you have one.
Avoid sitting on the toilet bowl, i.e. get up as soon as you finish your bowel movements.
I invite you to consult your pharmacist who will be able to deepen and personalize the consultation with you and ensure a close follow-up with you.
I will remain available if you have any further questions!
Sincerely,
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
