Hello. : Hello. I can't diagnose the bump. However, it could be a small external hemorrhoid. If you are constipated, it can increase the chances of getting a hemorrhoid. Recommend that you drink at least 8 8 ounce glasses of water per day. Recommend 5 servings of vegetables and 4 servings of fruit per day. It is really important to get adequate fiber in your diet and to try to avoid junk food if possible. If it continues to grow, you can have it examined to determine if it is a hemmorhoid or a different type of lesion.
