Applied some raw apple cider vinegar on hemorrhoid during few days. Not a good idea. It caused some tissue damage (pain) which lasted couple of weeks at least. If must try, dilute it as hinted in the article, might be safer.

I have read all the comments on the treatment of hemorrhoids using apple cider vinegar. I was very excited because Hemorrhoids were causing severe pain progressively. i have tried apple cider vinegar undiluted using a cotton ball. The pain of the sting was excrutiating but I thought I have to tolerate if I have to get any results.... but the result I got was that the ACV burnt my skin and caused it to get infected.

Now I have an abscess and pus and need urgent medical intervention. ( not happy at all). PLEASE PLEASE don't use ACV undiluted on your skin.... VERY IMPORTANT.

Found an external grape size H several months ago and healed it by taking warm baths and improving diet. Was still experiencing soreness when sitting for long periods and suspected that the cause was internal H. Read about the use of ACV and decided to try it. Used a cotton swab to apply ACV with immediate results! Thanks for sharing.

Got hemorroids when I was Pregnant 17 years ago. Had the normal flare up once or twice a year from constipation. They always went away by themselves in a few days. Now at the age of 40 I got one at the end of Sept. Was a little stubborn but got Preparation H. It was gone in 7 days. Few days later got a bad case of diarrhea and it came back with a vengeance. Nothing at all was working to shrink it. I tried everything. Was finally going to call the Dr.

Started reading about Apple Cider Vinegar Treatment and though what the hell going to try it. WOW, it worked after just one day of treatment it shrunk by half. 2 days of treatment I finally have my pucker back with just a bb size bump. This thing was the size of a grape when I started.

I used ACV 3 times a day for 15 min. Soaked in a cotton ball and shoved it up you know where. This being day 3 of treatment I am not going to use ACV now because my bummy is a little sore but the hemmie seems to be mostly shrunk back to normal. Going to use Desetin to relieve the sting.

Wow. I've had internal hemorrhoids for many years but they did not bother me very often. As a vegetarian, I get a lot of fiber so am usually not constipated. Regardless I had a hard stool and then had a huge external hemorrhoid. The nurse said to get some Anusol but didn't write a prescription so I started looking online and found this great site. ACV sounds implausible. How could it work?? But I put a little on a cotton ball, wedged it between the cheeks and went to sleep. When I woke up, it had reduduced it's size by half. So I really soaked the cotton and reapplied it. The ACV soaked in quickly and when I checked it an hour later, it was almost gone!!!! I had only had it for a couple of days but my colonoscopy showed many hemorrhoids. It is a miracle! Felt tingly. But my hemorrhoid did not cause me any pain. It just felt odd. Do try this. I am thinking about using a small amount in an enema to see if it would get rid of the internal ones. I'm amazed and pleaded not to have to use steroids.

I just tried this on an thrombosed hemorrhoid I've gotten due to pregnancy. I was desperate for relief and I put organic Apple Cider Vinegar on a cotton ball and applied it to hemorrhoid for 30 min.

Not only did it not help, but I am in much more pain than I was before. I am now icing the area in hopes for relief. I've heard menthol rub works and I will try that next.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Thank you all good people that shared this amazing information regarding ACV.

I have been having problems with hemorrhoids for past 3-4 years. After trying all prescribed medication, I thought that I will just have to learn to live with them until I die, and at certain point do the surgeries.

How was I wrong!!! Two days ago my hemmies got inflamed and started giving me excruciating pain. Yesterday at work I was literally crying from pain. I was actually googling for info regarding where I can do the surgery immediately, when I stumbled upon this site ' earthclinic' . Oh I am so glad I did ... After reading almost everything regarding my best buddy hemmie in here I decided to try ACV, thinking I really have nothing to loose.

I applied undiluted ACV to cottonball and externally onto my buddy hemmie. I did expect a little discomfort and stinging, but it passed in 20 seconds. I left it for 10 minutes on the spot.

I did this straight coming from work, and repeated later before sleep.

This morning my buddy hemmie was half of its size (warning gross: hemmie is not one but couple of roids making one huge pile of smth that irritates and hurts me).

The pain was gone 5 minutes after applying it first time. Itchiness is still present in the internal ones, but external is subsiding in all ways.

This morning I sat finally after 3-4 years like a human being, not being scared of pain that might appear.

Please, please whom ever is having problems with hemorrhoids, please try this, it sounded ridiculous to me too.

I will update how the progress is going.

Note:

I've been having serious multiple hemorrhoid, both internal and external problem.

This is the cure!!!

Been having a hard case of diarrhea and my hemorrhoids got so painful and bleed, it was unbearable, so I came here looking for a relief and saw all of the posts about ACV applied topically. Sure enough I've applied it over a wet pad and rubbed it on my hemorrhoid, there was no pain at first and I actually thought that I'm on the right way. Boy how I was wrong, it started hurting so much from the inside that I couldn't sleep at night and now day and a half after still in pain. Be careful and test before using it. I think it opened and hurt all the tissues surrounding.
