A hemorrhoid is like a very irritated bit of vein from your rectum. It can be very painful and can be caused by many things (pregnancy, heavy lifting, constipation). Roughly, 50% of Americans will suffer from having a hemorrhoid in their lifetime so it really isn't as gross or embarrassing as you first thought.
Up your fiber intake. You can buy products such as Benefiber, Metamucil, and ColonPure (from GNC) to help you get more fiber if you're not getting enough from fruits, vegetables, and grains.
Do NOT take laxatives for this though as diarrhea can upset the hemorrhoid further.
Make sure to drink your 8 glasses of water a day to keep hydrated.
Do not push as hard when you go to the bathroom. Pushing hard from constipation and lack of fiber is one of the main causes.
Try not to "hold it in" any longer than absolutely necessary. Go when your body says to.
Soak in a tub of warm water for about 10 - 15 minutes each day.
Many websites have suggested wiping after you poo with flushable wipes. There are many different kinds like the Kleenex Cottonelle, Charmin Fresh Mates, and Equate brand from Wal-Mart. These websites say it helps to keep the area clean and soothes it a bit.
Here is a little more information about hemorrhoids and it also has some tips to help relieve the pain (if you are experiencing any) in the meantime:

There are creams (such as Preparation H) and wipes (such as Tucks Medicated Pads) you can buy for such a thing but personally I'd go see a doctor before doing anything like that just for confirmation. Most hemorrhoids go away in a few days so it's probably best you get checked out by a professional.
If left untreated, hemorrhoids may sometimes develop into a serious and dangerous condition that requires surgery for treatment. An internal hemorrhoid can become prolapsed where the inflamed vein extends outside of the anus. Usually this vein can be gently pushed back up inside the anus but there is the possibility that it will become further swollen and become entrapped. Once the vein is entrapped, the blood supply may get cut off and the vein will die, often becoming infected. Once infection sets in, it is possible that it will spread through out the entire body and cause dangerous illness.
Please try to see your doctor if possible to make sure everything is alright with you. It's better to be safe and well-informed about your body than to go down the road and find out it's progressed to something major.
I hope things go well and your hemorrhoid goes away soon so you're relieved of pain and embarrassment. Please consider seeing a doctor. If you have any more questions feel free to ask me! :)

Just leave it. If it's small, it shouldn't be a problem and will start to shrink within a week or 2. Infact, they're really common and anyone can suffer from them.
If it's itching, you can get creams to help. Other than that, make sure the area is kept clean and don't do anything that might aggravate it :)

It should go away in a few days or so, but if it's itchy or painful use a cold pack & apply it to the affected area. Take bath three or four times a day in hot water for about 20 to 30 minutes too.
uh, hope it goes away soon
;D
