I learned about the hot water treatment last summer from an online site, and it has been a HUGE help. I manage to get it once a year, and always suffered for weeks before I found the online source. I agree with what everyone has said about using cold water first, washing everything, etc. In my case the red bumps don't appear for several days, and as soon as they do, I use water as hot as I can stand on them. It really speeds up healing for me, as well as just feeling terrific when you do it -- right, semi-orgasmic. :)
