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.
