Hi!  First off, thank you for having this site!  Very helpful and encouraging!

My question as per the topic subject might be silly but I had my first experience with a half-a-pea size hemorrhoid 5 days ago.  It doesn't hurt, itch or bleed...it's just there and it looks weird coz I am sure it wasn't there before.  I've been putting ice on it 2x a day coz I'm hoping and praying it will disappear.  It has shrunk in size i think and it goes in by itself without waiting for a push so to speak.  Anyway...would you happen to know if when it heals, that part of me will go back to looking normal? 

I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday too just to make sure because like my username, I tend to be paranoid and I am already thinking of very bad things!  But I saw some of the pictures on your site and mine looks very similar to one of them.

Thanks for reading...and to the rest...hope all hemorrhoids in the whole wide world completely heal and disappear!
