Have you had any diarrhea or constipation lately?
Any pain or bleeding when having a bowel movement?
If you have ever gotten cut (an anal fissure) then a bump can form over the area, like a skin tag. Sometimes the cut can remain underneath and the bump overtop can get bigger.
Keep your eye on it, if it grows rapidly, if you have any bleeding, or increased pain then see your doctor.

hiya, It sound to me like a thrombosed external hemorrhoid (pile) is a hemorrhoid in which blood has pooled and formed a clot (thrombus). A thrombosed external hemorrhoid can be diagnosed by visual and/or rectal exams. This type of hemorrhoid occurs outside the rectum, around the anal region. It will usually appear as bulging, purple or bluish skin-covered veins, or can be reddish when inflamed. To the touch, a thrombosed external hemorrhoid usually feels like a small, hard lump, roughly the size of a pea. Occasionally, this type of lump is referred to as a “skin tag”, and sometimes feels like a small mass of extra skin. With this type of hemorrhoid, most sufferers experience some degree of pain, often quite a lot. A thrombosed external hemorrhoid can cause swelling, itching and/or pain, but it will almost never bleed.

So what does one do about it to help cure it or make it go away?

My husband has a similar problem, but he's diabetic. The doctors have no idea what it is. I wouldn't worry too much normally, but what was painless yesterday is now crippling him with pain. The CT scan showed soft tissue swelling just on the inside of his anus (it isn't external). He's on 3 types of antibiotics and hydrocodone. This is the only place I've heard even a whisper about this. If anyone has any idea what this is, please help.

Update: This is not a hemorrhoid. It is a soft tissue infection as a product of an anal fissure. He did not have an abscess but could develop one or many because of the infection (requires surgery). There is a possibility that it could even become necrotic (requires surgery). The regimen of antibiotics seems to be helping though. Now it's a game of "hurry up and wait."

Hi everyone...I have this inflame bump/lump between my anus and my testicles. It's been there for about 3 weeks and still inflame. It was small like a pimple and it has been grown up to mangosteen seed. Any body knows?? I am a shy person and I am too shy to go to a doctor. Thank you!
