I have a small spot like lump next to my anus and I have no idea what it could be. I am so embarrassed to go to my doctor straight away and was wondering if anyone could be of service?
View 1 RepliesI have discovered a small lump right on the opening of my anus.
It is about the size of a pea and looks almost blue or black in colour.
It feels exactly the same as a pea - solid behind the skin covering it.
I am extremely worried as I don’t know what it is. It is very sore, especially when passing stools.
Initially it wasn't painful at all and now it is. Yesterday I got it little open using surgical blade and small amount of blood came out.
I have a small lump on my anus which is extremely sore. I was hoping to get some advice of a diagnosis and treatment required to get rid if it. I have recently had anal sex. It's almost like a swollen blood vein that has popped out.
View 1 RepliesLast 2 nights I had protected anal sex, unprotected oral and fingering with a stranger I met through an app. Today I noticed a small white/yellow spot around my anus. It is not painless but i kept touching it and now it starting to itch. Have I contracted any STI/STD? And how long should I wait for check up?

View 1 RepliesI have had a swollen anus for about 2 months now, it was painful to begin with and then settled down but now there is a little pea-sized lump on the anal opening that is tender. I can push it back in and it usually come out on the toilet along with some swelling. My knickers are wet today, also with slight urge to itch anal area. What could this be? Is it haemorrhoids? How should I treat it?
View 2 RepliesI am a 28 year old male. I have a lump/cyst looking thing on the left opening of my anus. It was red in color yesterday and very sore. Today when I got off work, I found that half of it is black. It bleeds very little ( only when wiping) and I am not sure if it leaking some clear fluid or not. It is about the size of a quarter. Is there any diagnosis you could give me. Or possible home remedies to try and fix the problem.
View 1 RepliesI've been in a bit of pain for the last 2 days, when I noticed yesterday a spot like lump has appeared just above from my anus, along my butt crack. I've researched online and several medical sites have advised that it should disappear after a few days but itself. But the pain is unbearable when sitting or lying and I'm really starting to worry. Anyone know how to reduce the pain.

I don't know what to do when i sit it hurts but only when i sit it's almost covering my whole anus hole, I'm embarrassed of telling any one, I don't wanna trouble my parents either, should I pop it, what should I put on it, can I use hydrogen peroxide. This lump I have is pea size skin colour unnoticeable even when I poop( I know don't judge) only when I sit down, what are the procedures, how can I avoid this or is it permanent......
View 1 RepliesToday after passing a stubborn stool I noticed a small, soft-ish fleshy lump outside of my anus. From what I've read I think it might be a hemorrhoid, but I don't know for sure since it seems like those are supposed to be hard. There is not bleeding, it is painless and is most noticeable just after using the bathroom or straining, and I suspect will retreat entirely if I leave it alone and go back to my usual diet. (I ate horribly today because of the holiday. I am prone to digestive issues and what I find I need to avoid persistent abdominal pain and stubborn stools completely includes 4-6 servings daily of fruit, 3-5 of veggies, and yogurt a few times a week. I ate almost none of those things today or yesterday.) Finding a lump down there has me really nervous, and I wanted to make sure it will be okay if I don't rush off to the doctor to get it looked at immediately. Obviously if it becomes painful or bleeds I will go ASAP. If it doesn't go away in a few days would it be safe to just leave it for two weeks while I finish my classes? If it does appear to go away should I still be concerned?
View 1 RepliesDr has assured me that it is one pile but after a bowel cancer scare, I worry about anything abnormal! It is just inside my anus and no pain, itching or blood. The ointment has had no effect after 10 days or so. It could have been there for much longer, I just might not have noticed it. I did strain when I was able to have bowel movements again after the tumour was removed but usually they are quite soft. I think I panicked and overdid it in case there was another blockage. How long before they disappear? I am worried that it is not piles but the beginning of another cancer problem. I just wish it would go away!
View 14 RepliesIt started 2-3 months ago, i felt some pain so i scratched it a little. It started to pain badly, i was scared at first, so i stopped touching it. After 1 week, everything was fine.
But yesterday i scratched it again(was feeling irritated), so now it's really big and hurting a lot too. I am not able to sit properly. Whenever i touch it, it hurts me deep.
About 5 weeks ago (i'v already submitted blood for testing) i met a guy who fingered me. What concerns me is that i noticed a small cut on my anus (on the outer pink area), but i'v never noticed it bleeding or anything.
View 7 RepliesI'm 13, approaching 14 later this year and I have a small, singular spot on the underside of my scrotum. It's toward the right side, and looks similar to an acne spot. Keep in mind I already have pubic hair so it can't be those spots. When I say small, it's pretty much the size of the tip of a slightly blunt pencil.
View 1 RepliesI am 17 years old, and am sexually active. I recently discovered an unnatural lump on my labia, near my anus on the right hand side. I have been looking into what it could be, but haven't found anything conclusive. Over the past few days (I discovered it three days ago) it seems to have gotten slightly larger and painful. Today I am uncomfortable sitting down, and am worried about it getting worse. I am unable to take a bath, only shower, and am trying to find a reliable gynecologist in the Pittsburgh area.
View 2 RepliesThe other day I felt a sting in my buttocks. Upon further inspection there appears to be at least one definite purple lump around the anal hole but if I push like I would during a bowel movement the whole anus gets purple and puffy with the same looking lumps as the original one. Pain and itching is accompanied to this. Is it actually hemorrhoids? Should I go to the doctor even though it's embarrassing or is it really even embarrassing?
View 2 RepliesI have some dwellings around the anus ... They are just at the entrance. They aren't painful and there isn't any bleeding .. I'm ... I guess naturally worried as to what it is but I'm scared to go to the doctors as I've had a couple of bad experiences.
View 5 RepliesThis is sort of an embarrassing question...Recently I found out that there is something unusual just outside of my anus. It has grown like a pea. When I touch it, it is sort of hard but smooth red colour,and it hurts a bit. What should I do ?
View 1 RepliesI'm 21 and no stranger to digestive issues. I suffer from anxiety and depression which I think helps contribute to those problems.
I was just recently diagnosed with Chronic Gastritis after an upper scope was done. I was also diagnosed with IBS about a year ago which is my main issue.
So lets skip to my more recent problem-
My IBS fluctuates from Diarrhea to Constipation. Mostly constipation anymore...
I get constipated for weeks. Just recently though I've noticed it getting worse and me pressing harder and harder to get it out. I knew that wasn't a good idea when I started doing that, but it's easy to strain. I know this is gross, but I developed severe itching down there about 3 weeks ago and naturally started thinking it was a hemorrhoid (internal). The only thing that would make me go for a little while was preparation H suppositories. So I used those and ignored it. There's still pain up there when I sit down. I still don't know what it is. I felt up inside and felt a lump about the size of a golf ball (maybe smaller) about an 1.5" up. This really scares me and makes me extremely depressed going through all the things in my head it could be.
What do I do?
For about a week I've been having a hard time passing stool. It all started last Thursday when I came home from school and sat down to use the toilet. When I pushed i felt excruciating pain and it felt like someone was jabbing a knife in my anus. Also it burned. The burning came from an excessive amount of hot sauce intake (I love hot sauce and eat it with everything). Friday through Sunday was horrible. I drank tons of water and ate a lot of prunes and eventually went downstairs and bought some milk of magnesia. That seemed to do the trick and by Sunday my stool was soft enough to come out and the burning wasn't as bad. But ever time I did use the bathroom my anus would hurt and burn and swell. I thought everything was okay, but today when I arrived home from school I sat on the toilet and again when I pushed I felt like a knife was jabbing me in my anus. It hurts so bad! I just want to use the bathroom normally. This has never happened before and truthfully it's terrifying me. Do I have hemorrhoids? How can I stop the pain?
