I'm 16, and from Alabama... A couple weeks ago, I noticed this little squishy bump on the outer side of my anus, at first I thought it was just a pimple, but it doesn't have a head on it, and it hurts if I pinch it. It only bothers me when I wipe, it gets irritated and hurts for about 10 minutes, then I'm fine. It sits right beside my anus, between my cheeks, and it looks like a ball of skin that turns red if I wipe too much. Although it doesn't really bother me, I just want to know what it is.
It can be an external hemorrhoid. To prevent hemorrhoids,if it is hemorrhoid, avoid straining to have a bowel movement. Change your diet. Drink alot more water. Again if its a Hemorrhoid.
