Was wondering if your doctor has had a chance to diagnose?  How are you doing?  Thinking of you ..

Hello,
There are many causes of an anal lump which include hemorrhoids, skin tag, abscess, rectal prolapse, genital wart or a benign or malignant growth. You need to consult a surgeon and get it examined and a proctoscopy done.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
