Small lump near anus - help

Im 17 and have found a weird lump by my anus when wiping. Its not like a spot, cyst, boil, ect but more of a small round ball pertruding from the skin. I havent had anything like this before so im slightly scared. It hurts slightly when pressure is applied.

Can anyone tell me what this could be and if I should worry about it?

    Unfortunately no one on the forum will have the ability or knowledge to tell you what this might be and the best thing to do in your situation is simply to book an appointment to see your doctor and show them that small lump and I am sure the doctor will be able to tell you exactly what it might be and this will make you feel less worried and reassured.

    Don't be embarrassed to show these intimate parts of your body to a doctor as they do this routinely every day. If it makes you feel better you can request to see a lady or male doctor (depending on your preference and whether you are a boy or a girl yourself).

    I hope this helps and that you get to see someone soon, You will feel a lot better after you have seen a medical professional about this.
