A member asked:

I have a small blue/purple lump near the opening of my anus. it is mildly painful and a bit itchy. my doctor mentioned that i also have an internal small hemorrhoid. but, after research this seems more like a hematoma then a hemorrhoid. what to do?

if your doctor looked at it and said it was a hemorrhoid then that is likely what it is. A hematoma is a bruise, usually related to trauma at the at the site. your description is consistent with a hemorrhoid, however if your still not convinced see a proctologist or a colorectal surgeon
