asked by: DoctorQuestion on June 10th, 2008
I recently went to Poland on my stag do for 2 days but when I returned I had a small soft lump on my anus. I I did not have anything inserted into my anus but we did go paintablling and I did crawl through an ants nest.
Could this abe a parasite or an ant bite and should I be worried about it?

It is hard to diagnose your problem without seeing and touching that “small soft lump on your anus”. It could be a hemorrhoid, wart, hair follicle infection, skin tumor, and even an insect bite. You may want to visit your primary health provider to check that.
