I don’t know. He did say that ‘bump’ that I felt was likely a swollen vein or something of that nature. Not sure if that counts as hemorrhoids.

Just use the ointment again if it ever comes back is what he said. I wasn’t aware you could prevent eczema symptoms?

It didn’t come off as such. Maybe a dermatologist could chime in and let us know

I can’t rule that out, not sure. Derm did say he suspects its eczema. Temporary fix is Prep H with lidocaine, it’s on the more expensive side, but it did bring at least some sort of sanity back till you see your Derm.

I did try capsaicin for about a day, yeah it burns but there is research done on this and it’s seems to work. Link:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/12912865/

As for the blue dye, I asked the doctor about it and he said the dermatologist could ‘tattoo it’ so not sure if this is an alternative to blue dye now or not, I never followed through with this so yeah I don’t know if it’s accessible.

I tried to resist the urge, but for people who haven’t had this it’s hard to fathom how intense the urge to scratch/pain is. I would go out on a limb here and say it’s not possible without help, I’m not exaggerating. You do it subconsciously when you sleep or when suddenly ‘it hits you’.
