Since last week, I noticed a small growth, like a pimple in my anus opening. Over time, this has grown into a pea sized pimple of some sort. It stingsSting-kill when I touch it, and is white at the tip and the rest is grayish. It gets very irritating when I have bowel movements. Will this thing be gone soon? Should I urgently see a doctor about it or get medication for it? I'm an 18 y.o male.
Some of the causes for swelling near/in the anal opening can be:
• Infections (due to a lot of sweat glands in the area)
• Anal fissures
• Warts
• Hemorrhoids
• Tumors
You should consult your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
