A member asked:
I've got a lump on my perineum closest to the anus, its painful to touch, and slightly red. what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Peri-anal lump: Could you be referring to fissures, fistula, abscess? Sexually transmitted disease (syphilis, gc, hiv, etc.) should be considered. Hemorrhoids ; rectal prolapse can appear as an outward bulging. Anal trauma of any kind may cause mechanical injury. Skin eruptions need to be considered. Evaluation is recommended to distinguish serious versus less concerning reasons for your problem as described.
