I Have Had Chronic Constipation Forever And On And Off

I have had chronic constipation forever and on and off hemorrhoidshave appeared that have gone in a day or two without needing to apply any medication. This time its different.

I have been suffering from a very painful hamorrhid since 9 days now, the first two days I tried OTC Prep H and Otc suppository and it did absolutely nothing and gave no relief. I was researching home remedies, and heres the stupid thing I did which caused even more problems and now i am very embarassed and in way more pain than before.

So someone online mentioned applying vicks vapor rub on the hemorrhoid and it worked for them and went away in a day. A lot of people stood by the claim and me the stupid person decided to give it a try out of desperation as it was a sunday, i was in pain and could not see a doc until thu.

So, after applying the vicks my skin around the hemorrhoid in the butt crack became burnt and some sort of a rash has developed with 4 pimples on each side of the crack and they rub together when walking it is just too painful and I have tried applying hydro-cortisone, diaper rash cream, another otc hemorrhoid cream, triple h antibiotic cream, zinc oxide, I have tried it all and nothing is working. Peeing or washing with water even makes it burn like hell. I cant walk, I cant sit, I cant stand, I cant use the bathroom its getting very difficult.
On Thu I went to see the doctor and she gave me prescription strength suppositories but nothing for the "rash" saying I dont need anything more than that. She did not even look at it and just felt it with her finger!

Now 4 days after the doc visit and the hemorrhoid id going down very slowly and the rash is just at its worst and nothing wants to work anymore.

Its the 10th day, i cant bear this anymore. To make things worse now I started my period too!!! I am out of my mind with this rash and I need to know what to do to the rash !

Please anyone help!!!!
