Are Internal Hemorrhoids white?

Hi all,  

Every now and then I have had some bleeding and itching and I never really did anything about it because of embarrassment and it wasn't that annoying.

Curiosity got the best of me tonight and I just took my camera and video recorded back there as I opened my anus to try to see what's inside.

I clearly see a source of bleeding around the outside rim of my anus, but then a little deeper inside, I see multiple white colored lumps around the inside perimeter. They look really freaky and bad and now I'm totally scared.

Are these what internal hemorrhoids normally look like? They seem pretty soft and not what I'd expect, can't see any bleeding from them either. Can't make an exact match to anything on google.

I know the only way to know is to go to a Doc but until then...anyone have any insight?

Thanks

Are you sure it's hemorrhoid? Your symptoms suggest that you're experiencing anal fissure. Symptoms include bleeding and itching, its also develops from a white fibrous base.

Hi, for all practical reasoning they would appear as hemerroids. Appareanty the skin that is being effected is thin causing them break quite easy and only balloned unopened hemms cause the majority of pain from the pressure
As to being white, its possible there a liitle infection or most likey they are just dead skin caused by the hemms. When blood is cut off to skin tissue as with hemms the skin dies.
