Lump on skin of anus
I have a painful lump on the outside of my anus.
I have not partaken in any sexual activity for the last year and a half and even then never penetrative anal sex.
I was wondering what the chances are of having genital herpes? :(
Thanks

I worry :( Herpes is a highly stigmatised disease.
I thought this was meant to be a place of understanding and guidance.

Your "life is over"??? Because of a bump on your butt?? Probably a hemorrhoid?
Grow up. This is going to turn out to be nothing serious and for sure not herpes or other STD..

I have an appointment tomorrow but I am just really depressed. I feel like my life is over :(
By far the most common cause of a "painful lump on the outside of my anus" is a hemorrhoid. Get seen professionally for confirmation or if it does go away after a few days,
Hi, herpes sores are not under the skin lumps but soft topical open blister/razor type sores. Only testing would confirm your status but if the lump is very close to the anus opening, its most likely hemorrhoids.
