You could try A and D ointment for that. If that doesn't work try hydrocortisone ointment or cream.

There are two types of hemorrhoids - internal and external.
Internal hemorrhoids occur inside the anus. The swollen blood vessels remain inside your anus and do not usually cause pain. The size of internal hemorrhoids are classified using a grading system from 1 to 4.
Grade 1- hemorrhoids are often small swellings inside the lining of your anus. They cannot be seen and are very common. In some cases they will enlarge to grade 2 hemorrhoids.
Grade 2- hemorrhoids are larger in size but are still within your anus. In some instances they become pushed out when you pass a stool, but will return inside immediately after.
Grade 3- hemorrhoids appear outside your anus. These are also referred to as prolapsed hemorrhoids. Grade 3 hemorrhoids protrude outside your anus and often decrease in size naturally. In most cases these hemorrhoids can be pushed back inside the anus with your fingers.
Grade 4- hemorrhoids remain outside your anus permanently. They cannot be pushed back inside and will need to be treated by your doctor.

External hemorrhoids occur outside your anus. They are also known as perianal hematoma.

You may feel a small lump outside your anus that becomes increasingly itchy. This type of haemorrhoid is less common and will require immediate treatment.

It is possible to have both internal and external hemorrhoids at the same time, but this is rare.

In most cases the symptoms go away in a few days if you adjust your diet properly.

They can probably last for a lifetime if you do nothing about it.

Prep H is great for a lot of things not Anal ,the added pain Relief is good for most every surface abrasion.
I received burns to 20 percent of my torso and the Scars from it were minimal because I used Prep H . One little circle on my right breast [wearing a metal pride button] . and my navel is like cut with pinking shears. I use it when a Male is to fast on the finish. I put a tiny bit in the end of his condom and HE sticks around for MY finish. I use it on bug bites in bad places acne bumps and open zits. nothing better for Chafing I am a Cheer Geek and we Chafe in places you never want to chafe. Spanker's are Mean to us. and so are Bras. I have a distended Labia minor 3 1/2 inches below where it needs to be and it gets in the elastic of my leg and "0 W ouch" [ Miley cyrus burn].

I wouldn't think it would make it any worse if you didn't have hemorrhoids, but there are other ointments that would help the problem better than Prep H would.
