Thrombosed skin tag/hemorrhoid help

Posted , 2 users are following.

I am waiting for a op to remove a large skin tag. recently the tag has become thrombosed and is so sore! It's got to the point that I've emailed a private clinic to see about getting it removed. Any advice on how to relieve the pain in the meantime? so worried that its going to stay like this and not go down again

    Hi, sorry to hear you're having this pain. When my hemorrhoids were bad i'd use ice to help the swelling/pain, it wasn't a complete fix, but it made things more manageable. An ice block that you can lightly hold on for a few minutes may help, but use a cover otherwise you'll burn

      Glad to hear things have got better for you, and hopefully once you have the surgery its a quick recovery and back to better than normal!!
