It could be a hemorrhoid.

The only way to know would be to get a colonoscopy.

Try witch hazel. It's sold where you find hydrogen peroxide/first aid products. It's liquid. Swab it on the area, it should provide instant pain relief and will clean the area well. It will also help heal the hemorrhoid.

Yay!
The witch hazel is a trick my ob/gyn told me about right after I had given birth to my daughter. It helps heal hemorrhoids and at the same time offers relief, all naturally. I'm glad everything is getting better for you.

Try eating a lot of leafy greens, like spinach. That really helps with normalizing the digestive tract. Also, they have this yogurt called "Activia" that seems to work in these areas too.
