I know it sounds crazy, but yes. My mom told me about how many and bad hers were many years ago that the Dr told others to come and see! Nice huh. My sister has many also, inside and out! I only have one small outer one which I usually never notice, but after surgery developed large inner ones, one that kepped popping out at first until my bathroom problems got better.

About the PO, I never used it so idk (or which ingredients are in the PrepH you use since I know there are different ones). I only ever used some cream my dr gave me for outer relief shortly and steroid suppositories for inner. Haven't had issues for quite some time now.
