I've suffered from hemms for several years, presumably caused by my IBS and straining too much (due to the constant feeling that I needed to "go").

At my wits end, I found this site after reading about using plaintain as a poutlice (didn't seem to do much, if I'm honest, but I may try again) and decided that after all the positive reports of ACV on piles, I'd give it a try.

I applied a cotton pad soaked in ACV for 10 minutes yesterday and 10 today and the hemms have actually got worse as a result. They're much larger and a look more inflamed.

Perhaps I need to dilute the solution, or it could just be that ACV doesn't work for me. My advice: try a diluted solution on a small area first :(

Take 1000 mg of rutin, a bioflovonaid found in citrus peeles, for 3 days and your hemoroids problem will be solved.

To be honest, Israel, having read the side effects, I suspect it would make my IBS worse, which in turn would make my hems worse!

I'm trying a diluted amount of ACV applied directly with a cotton pad for 10 minutes. Going to do this several times a day and see if there's any reduction. I really, really hope so. It would be beyond wonderful to get rid of these things after suffering for so long.

ACV doesn't seem to be doing anything at all, other than making them more tender. I've been applying to one hem to see if there was any improvement. Nothing after four days at all. Perhaps mine have just been there for too long.

Going to pick up some Vick's and see if that helps at all. I'm lucky in that I don't experience much pain, but I would desperately like to get rid of the extra mini scrotums that have formed!

They may be skin tags.
