See your FP: See your family physician. The chances are that you have a hemorrhoid. In the mean time drink a lot of water, keep the area clean with a product called TUCKS (witch hazel) (it's over the counter} and don't strain to move your bowels. Diet high in fiber is also warranted. Stay away from very spicy foods
