19 F external hemorrhoid for nearly a yr :,(

So I've had this external external hemmerhoid for around 9 months now. It was mostly because last year I had a lot of bathroom anxiety from my communal college bathrooms and strained a lot. And since high school, I experienced frequent constipation and would get the occasional skidmarks in my underwear after a bm, but since it was so normalized for me I kinda just ignored it.

Since moving out of the dorms, I now eat lots of fiber and no longer strain, but I still haven't been able to manage to get rid of it. Some days I'm able to push it back in, but other times I'm not or it will poke right back out. It's probably around 1 cm in diameter. It doesn't hurt, but is it going to be there forever?? I originally thought that since I'm still on the younger side it would eventually go away on its own. Sorry, I just wanted to vent a little.
