Possible tick on anus
Ok so about a week and a half ago I was in the shower and I was washing myself and I felt this kind of bump thing right in the edge of my anus and it was alittle bit squishy do I squeezed it and it felt like it popped but there was nothing there, like it had pushed whatever was in it inside of me? So I just went on with my regular business after next day the same thing happened and so on and so on. I then decided to not touch it and see if it was something that would go away by itself. But now it a bigger lump so smaller than a bean though, but it is sort of blackish colored and it's painful to squeeze it but it is hard so it won't pop. I haven't really been out in the woods and I shower everyday and wash there too. I don't know if it's a tick or what? I would just like some help, because I really don't want to get Lyme disease! So thank you! And I haven't picked at it either.
Something similar happened to me last year but it wound up being a very large hemmerhoid and since I didn't have an LLMD then my doc just said to hold warm compresses on it and it did finally go away but I would have it looked at by a doctor to be sure.
Since you are concerned, you could always go to the ER. A doctor can check it out and give you some advice on whatever it is.
I think it sounds like a haemorrhoid.
Don't fiddle with it again.
Have a look at it with a hand mirror (if you have trouble angling the mirro, place it flat on the floor and crouch over it).
Meanwhile do some searches on haemorrhoids to find out more about them. If it is a haemorrhoid and it is hard, that means the blood inside has turned into a "scab" and so it would be best to get the doctor to look at it.

While it is embarrassing, perhaps try to have someone take a look at it see what it is? Hope it wasn't engorged tick. Maybe hemorrid?
Truth is I'm kind of scared because I obviously don't know what it is so any help would be appreciated! Thank you again!
