Hello and goodmorning. For doctors to make a diagnosis and plan a treatment strategy, we need to carry out further consultation, physical examination, and tests.

There are multiple treatment for itching and swelling of haemorrhoids.

  • topical steroids
  • antibiotics/antifungal if there are signs suggestive of infection.
  • methylene blue dye injection (if you do not respond to any medication)

At home, you may try to wipe the are with baby wipes multiple times and make sure it is dry to reduce the itchiness.
