Lump inside anus

I'm 18 and I have a lump inside at the start of my anus, it's purple/ red (the same colour as the inside of my bum) it's just over pea sized probably but it's not in a round circle shape it's like just a lump. I've had it for a few months now and wanted to write here to try and find out what it is as I'm too scared to go to the doctors about it also my doctors aren't even open because of coronovirus so if anyone has any answers would be much appreciated 

  • Could potentially be a haemorrhoid, which are very common and come in all sizes. Do you have any other symptoms like itchiness or is it a little sore to the touch? Don't be scared to go to the doctor, especially if it could take away months of worries from you :) Your GP surgery should be offering an online service, take a look at their website.
