I think ACV burned the surrounding skin of my rectum

[Exhaustedoptions]

Three weeks ago I discovered a bump on the outer rim of my anus. I figured it was from a slip of my razor when shaving from the night before. I did some research and I came to the conclusion that it had to be A) a external hemmroid or B) a skin tag. I've been using medicated wiped with witch hazel and I looked up natural remedies to help resolve the problem and apple cider vinegar was one. I think I may have over done it because the skin surrounding the problem area has become raw and red. I was wonder what I should do to treat this and/or both problems.

I did exact same thing trying to treat a small hemorrhoid and the itching . I didn't know I should dilute it and have a nasty burn and in so much pain. What did you ever do to feel better? I'm sorry this happened to you. It's awful!

Just wanted to check in and see how you were doing?  Hope you are healing up and feel better!

I would stop using the vinegar and witch hazel now- you want to keep the area clean if there is an irritation, but you can use a mild cleanser.  See how you do with just stopping the treatment- as far as if you think you have a hemorrhoid or skin tag- get to a doctor for the best treatment for those, since at home remedies have irritated the area.
