Anal growth

There is a small growth inside the anal area approximately half inch inside. Could you say whether it is hemmroid or anal cancer? If it is either one could you say what are the cures for either of them?

Hi.
How are you?
The small growth inside the anal canal could be a hemorrhoid or an anal cancer just like what you mentioned.   Hemorrhoids can be treated medically or surgically.  As for the anal cancer management, there is a need to establish first the diagnosis of anal cancer.  If it is cancer, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy can be the options.  
You should go to your doctor for evaluation.  
Good luck.
