Hi
Yes, you are anxious and rightly so. However on net, without examination a confirmed diagnosis cannot be given. What I can suggest is go for a swab test to rule out STD. If it is not a STD then it can be a hemorrhoid or a polyp. The other STDs which should also be thought of are chancroid, syphilis, and molluscum contagiosum. Again these can be diagnosed by a simple test. Go for a complete STD panel since you will not be consulting a specialist until March. At least this will rule out or diagnose a STD.
It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Maybe you can seek another opinion from a doctor who can examine you. Take care!
Hello,
do you have any advice re: the above?
Thank you
Thank you for your response
My "things" seemingly respond to creams in that they are no longer irritated but are still there, but after a few days not using the cream, the symptoms come back (burning itching, an irritated feeling). This has been bothering me for a month now. Is this typical of a hemmorhoid or more a wart?
Do you know what would explain the hardish whitish tip anatomically? My dr said it doesnt look like a wart but couldnt explain why it looked the way it did
I have terrible anxiety in case you havent noticed and this is making me crazy
Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
A mass from anal area with projections like the one you explain could be anal piles or hemorrhoids. It could also be a genital wart as you have a history of one. Hemorrhoids will respond to seitz bath (sitting in a tub of warm water). They also respond to local hemorrhoidal creams. Increasing fibers and fluids in diet too helps. If this is a wart, it will not respons to the treatment.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
