I don't have hemorrhoids but I couldn't find a sub section for the thing I have, but its still very similar to hemorrhoids. About 6 months ago I was diagnosed with ingrown hair on my butt that caused pain, bleeding, and puss, so I had surgery to remove it, but they said that it can't be stitched and that I needed to wait for it to heal up on itself, and I did, I applied the medication they told me to apply and it was working, and eventually it closed, but it keeps ripping back open whenever I do any heavy movements such as running, jumping, lifting, etc, the entire hole doesn't open, but small holes open, most of the hole as healed up, also when it does open, there is no puss or anything, just red blood, this has really ruined my social life as I am gaining fat, and I can no longer compete in lifting with my friends, even when I don't do heavy movements the area is still easily ripped back open and takes weeks to months to heal up again, what should I do? Why can't they just stitch the area? I'm 16 years old btw.

    Wow! Don’t know if it will help but try Aloe Vera gel. You can either buy it from a health store or buy the Aloe Vera plant and break off the leaves to get the gel. However, it sounds like you can get it healed, but lifting tears it back open. You may have to wait longer after the wound heals. Sorry you have to go through this!

      I do have a very large aloe vera plant, but are you sure it'll work? We never really used it for wounds, we used it on sunburn and burns

      I’m no doctor and am not sure on anything. I do feel, though, that the Aloe Vera gel helped clear my Fissure up. I kept it in the refrigerator and the coolness was soothing as well

    Sorry to hear. You should Have a colon rectal doctor/surgeon look at it. It could be recurring perianal abcess, which needs to be addressed early before it turns into fistula. Abcess does take a lot of patience and care to heal. Best wishes!
