I have a small lump (slightly smaller than a pea) to the right of my anus, probably around 1cm away from the actual hole opening which makes me think it is not a hemorrhoid (i understand these are normally on the anal opening)
It’s mainly red, but I’ve noticed there is a whiteness to it (possibly pus) and it tends to vary in size, it can vary from day to day, when it is more inflamed it is more of a white colour. It can be tender to touch, especially when inflamed.
It’s been there for some time, possible 6 months as I thought it would just go, but it hasn’t. i thought it popped a few weeks back as it was bleeding slightly, but its not gone away.
any ideas what this is? thank you.
