One night I was out partying (this is all during Mardi Gras to be honest), and passed out in a bathtub while doing a routine bath and was there for 4 hours. The next morning, my roids were a lot worse and the skin of my butthole was more raw and sensitive. I think all that soaking really messed me up. It was suddenly even harder to walk without feeling like my skin was tearing - I could barely sit, stand, walk or lie down.
After a couple days of that, I tried a poultice of honey to heal up the skin. Honey worked super, super well to heal up my broken skin, but seemed to make the swelling worse.
After a while I realized I should probably stop taking baths because wounds need to be dry to heal.
I started doing ACV. I experienced a lot of burning and itching at first, and like others said, it lessened up or went away after maybe 5-10 mins. I think the burns a lot less when you don't have broken skin. My advice is basically to get strategic about what you're using for what purpose. If you need to heal your broken skin, spend less time in the bath, keep your skin clean and dry, and moisturize with coconut oil and consider doing a honey treatment. If you're trying to take down swelling, REALLY ease your pain, increase your mobility, and hopefully shrink your lil inflamed roids, do ACV treatments.
After 4 days of ACV, I can walk normally again and get up from sitting without fear of extreme pain. My smaller hemmies are shrinking but the big one is almost the same size as it was, just less engorged and mostly numb unless they experience friction or pulling from movement.
Sorry to ramble but I thought this could be enlightening to someone.
Can't effing wait for them to be gone completely.
I think the bigger one isn't shrinking as easily because before it swelled it was kind of warped scar tissue from a past hemorrhoid to begin with. I think it's not absorbing the ACV in the same way as the rest of my bum, sadly.
Also, I think it may be better to dilute at more of of 1:3 ACV/water ratio if your skin still feels way too sensitive. If there are parts that can take it, 1:2 should be fine.
GOOD LUCK ALL OF YOU

I have chronic constipation. I also have a 9-5 office job and also do computer work from home so this has lead to me getting some internal hems. I tried to change my diet to include more fiber in most all meals, which helped a little. When I eat cereal I put a little flaxseed oil as well. I am also taking psyllium husk with breakfast and dinner to ease BMs. I started putting a cap full of ACV into a glass of water and drinking that after breakfast and dinner, so I can brush my teeth after. I feel better in general and I think it's from drinking the ACV.
As for the hems, I've been soaking a Q-tip in AVC and applying that directly on the hems. It stings a little but has really worked for me. The only problem is with itching. For the first couple weeks it stopped the itching, but now it's coming back with a fury! It seems like a cut that's trying to heal, so it naturally itches. Not sure what I can do to allieviate that yet, but with all the comments on this thread I am greatful. I'm getting positive results and feel better.
