Hemorrhoid question, possibly TMI

So, I managed to survive my whole pregnancy without a hemmorhoid, and now, I think I have one, and I'm not sure. I've been recovering from my C-section incision infection, and haven't been paying attention to much other pain. I have noticed blood whenever I've had a bowel movement for the past couple of days. Now it hurts and burns and itches. Is this a roid?
What do you use? I just sent DH to CVS because I still can't drive, and told him to buy creme and pads .. is there anything else I should do?
TIA

Sounds like a roid.

Not much u can do- might help to eat a lot of fiber or take a supplement to make ur poo soft so u don't bother it further.

I was lucky enough to have one last year. It's not as gross as it sounds- just a blood vessel/vein that's swollen. Anyway, I took care of it w/ cream and it went away in about a week and hasn't come back since. I it stays that way...
