smal bumps around my anus

I have 3 very small little bumps around my anus.  1 is litterally on my anus, and the other 2 are very close together and are on the area of skin between my anus and where my ball sack starts.  They do not hurt, nor do they itch.  I can usually only tell they are there when I wash my butt in the shower or when I am wiping.  They feel hard and are a light color.  They have been there for a few months and do not seem to be getting any bigger or smaller.  It seems when they are dry, I can "play" with them as if they were little skin tags or moles that stick up above the skin.  They seem fleshy.  Anyway, I have been in a commited gay relationship with my boyfriend and I just want to get some feed back on what someone may think that they could be.  I have read a lot, and it seems there are a lot of things they could be, and do not have to be anal warts.  I shave my butt frequently, and do have anal sex.  I just want all of the facts to be out there so I can get a good response.  They do not seem like anal warts..... but I guess I really don't know.  
If I pick at them, and I only have once, they hurt... but if I leave them alone, which I always do, I can not even thell that they are there.  

They resemble white heads, or a zit, or a fleshy mole.  Very small and hard.

I m a bisexual had sex many times but used protection always. I was just surfing n found article about hpv n from that time I m really worried. Though I saw a doctor n she told me I hv no warts till date but no idea if I hv warts inside my anal canal. I called up the guy with whom I had sex last time n he told some 2 years back he developed some infection over the tip of his penis n later that thing got hurt n blood came out. Then he meet a doctor who has given him some lotion n medicine to eat n he became well after a month. From that time my clock has started coz its been almost a month since I had sex with him. Though I dont want a wart but I check many times a day to find if I get any wart. So can u tell about how much time it took u to develop wart from ur last exposure. Does immune system helps in avoiding wart. I am also in a comitted relation with a girl n have had unprotected sex with her. After knowing this I m feeling so much guilt. I just pray that I dont get ne wart coz I dont want to bring tears in her eyes. Im helpless. I also heard that those who get genital or anal warts are susceptible for anal cancer. Im so scared. This has brought me in a trauma. I m speechless. Can neone help me out. I need some real good wishes.

I had sex years ago in my anus and I realized that I was having wound and it later became just a bump and for that reason I stopped having sex in my anus but normally have sex with my penis, then later i started noticing it started becoming plenty  around my anus but i normally pick them and always use detergent after using the toilet or when bathing, so i stopped noticing them around Amy anus.
But few months ago (more then half a year) I used the toilet after being like 3day not using the toilet, I later realized plenty bumps in my anus and I tried to pick them out anytime I use the toilet day after day till they less and I finally summarized to my doctor about it and he gave me a one week treatment that I used about a week a that made it less and now that am done with the treatment am still realising it coming again day by day, so please help me to know what to do again that will stop it finally.

No one can confirm what they are just via discussion or even pics. You will need to see a doc to be sure. If you look at my pics you can see I had the same concern as my (vaginal) warts seemed like skin tags. You can have moles or even common warts in these areas but you know you have been sexually active and HPV is very common. My warts don't hurt at all, I don't mess with them, they are not in an area I shave but be aware shaving can cause spreading of warts. You can trim the area rather than shave to prevent this. Regardless of the time frame of your relationship you could have had HPV in your system for some time and it is just now causing symptoms. Have you discussed your concerns with your bf so he is aware? :)

Sounds like HPV to me but only a doctor can tell. I had a wart very close to my anus before I ever had anal sex. Unfortunately during foreplay, skin touches skin alot and that's where most genital wart transmission occurs.
