Small lump near anus - help

Nnon
Offline

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?

    Hi,

    Could possibly be a small Haemorrhoid? It certainly is a possibility... For some reassurance and confirmation of what this is, it is best to see your GP about it.  Of course it may feel embarrassing for you, but that's the only way to go with this.

    Be brave and get it checked out.

    All the best,

    James.
