Alternative Hemorrhoid Treatment

Should I see a doctor urgently for external hemorrhoids?

I suspected I had a fecal impaction just earlier today due to constipation and (I know, gross..) I read some tips on this website to remove the stool ‘manually’ with fingers. So I did and I felt no stool whatsoever but I felt a very tender small lump just on the outside of my anus. I’m positive it’s hemorrhoids, should I see a doctor about this as soon as possible?
If you have no answer and all you’re going to say is "Ew" don’t bother typing in a comment at all. Grow up, are you like 5?
