Why is my hemorrhoid white?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
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.

See a doctor: This needs to be evaluated. One possibility is that it is a lesion on top of the hemorrhoid and the hemorrhoid brought your attention to it.
