Question 1

i have some small white bumps on the inside of my anus that seem a little concerning to me. they dont hurt or anything. im just wondering if its normal or if i should be concerned about it?

Accepted Answer

: This may be entirely normal, especially if there is no pain or other symptoms. But impossible to say with certainty based only on this description. See a doctor to check it out. (Why are you examining your anus if you have no other bothersome symptoms?? Are you maybe at risk a particular problem, such as receiving anal sex?)

Question 2

what is this small bump below my anus?

Accepted Answer

Need exam: Go to see our md and get yourself checked. It could be different things like skin tag, hemorrhoid, infection/boil/abscess, a skin growth etc.

Question 3

i noticed a small bump on my anus. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Likely not: Depends on how long it's been there, if only a few days likely a thromboses hemorrhoid which will resolve within a few days , if it persists or gets larger see a doc.

Question 4

what are possible causes of small bumps around the anus?

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: It is difficult to make a proper diagnosis since I am not there to see the condition. I recommend seeing a dermatologist so that they can make a proper diagnosis and give you something to get rid of the condition or relieve symptoms.

Question 5

what ointment could i apply around my anus  if i have small bumps?

Accepted Answer

See Dr: Small bumps would not likely be hemorrhoids, which have otc options. More likely they are herpes or warts or other unpleasantries that require different treatment. See your dr / urgent care / "std clinic" for exam and treatment.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Dermatologist: I recommend that a dermatologist examine you for diagnosis and treatment. Possibilities include anal warts caused by HPVirus, herpes, and hemorrhoids. Specific treatment for herpes and HPV are available and it's important to treat these infections.

Question 7

i have a small painless bump above my anus. overall it doesn't hurt but can cause discomfort when i press it. what can this be?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: without seeing it, but many people have small skin tags in this area or even hemorrhoids that are completely covered by skin so they look just like a skin bump.  You can try sitting in warm water (or applying a warm compress) and see if it goes away.  Don't mess with it.  If it does get more painful or larger or drains, see a clinician.

Question 8

25/m small reoccurring bump 1/4 above anus comes and goes about 3 yrs now pops in about 3 days bleeds heals over can repeat in week or 5 months. ?

Accepted Answer

See surgeon: You might have a pilonidal cyst.  This is a small cyst that occurs in the crack above the anus.  This can easily be removed with minor surgery.  Please see a surgeon for evaluation and treatment.
