Suggest Treatment For External Hemorrhoids With Puss Filled Pimple

I went to the doctor last week who thought I had a prolapsed colon and sent me to the specialist who said it was a bad case of external hemorrhoid. I have been bleeding and there is infection in this huge hemorrhoid now the size of a golf ball draining pus....it has lost enough size to allow skin to hang but I have huge pimple looking skin covering my hemorrhoid that looks very pusie too... should I go back to the doctor? Or should I continue with pain meds and hydrocortisone and litacaine until it goes away? I took pics if you would like to see before and after. within one week period.

Hello
As you mentioned that you are having hemorrhoids and taking a treatment for it.
Although you are taking a good treatment but in my opinion the size is quite large and it is very difficult to cure it with medicine alone.
Since you are also having pain and pus present i.e. inflammation also present.
So I recommend you please consult a SURGEON and get a surgery as this is one option for such large hemorrhoids.
Good luck.
