please please help

Im 17 years old and for a few months now iv had a round lump around my anus. It started off small and grew bigger. It would go small and big on some days and i thought it went away because one day i couldnt see it or feel it. It came back and is the size of 2-3 peas and is extremly painful to walk so i try to sit or lay down most of the time. What should i do? Home remidies? I dont really want to see a doctor its embarressing!

Most probably, it's a developing hemorrhoid. A pea sized hemorrhoid can still be treated with home remedies like taking sitz bath and herbal medication to reduce swelling. But, if the size of your hem progresses to be as large as a pebble, then you'll be needing to visit a health care provider. Surgery might be needed by then.

Hi, whats happened is that a section of the tissue has become streched and filled with blood. The pain is from the blood pressure. It will be painful until the blood comes out or is absorded back into your body but it popping open is the most common way its releasd. A doc can prescribe some 2.5% hydrocream to help it release the blood. Home remedies is warm baths
