identification of anal pimple
Hi I have a small light brownish pimple or skin tag looking thing near my anus. I've looked at pictures of hemorrhoids and it isn't anywhere near that big, it is very very small and it doesn't hurt. But whenever I wipe after using the bathroom it always lightly bleeds and then burns for a few minutes afterwards. I don't know what it is. It Also doesn't itch. I attached a photo

Hi, sorry am unable to see the picture. The lump can be a perianal hematoma or an external pile, this happens when a tiny blood vessel ruptures causing the a small amount of blood to get trapped leading to the swelling and pain, but this will eventually resolve. The other causes for the swelling are anal tags, pilonidal cyst, thrombosed external piles and perianal abscess. Please consult your primary care physician for assessment of the lump. He will examine you and may do a proctoscopy if needed. Regards.
