Question 1

why is my hemorrhoid white?

Perianal mass: That would be an unusual color for a hemorrhoid.  While hemorrhoids are a common diagnosis, there are other conditions which could be confused for a hemorrhoid such as an abscess.  An evaluation by a general or colorectal surgeon would be recommended.
