First time inquiry? my female friend is complaining they may have hemorrhoids. they state what started out as a pimple next to the anus is now a 20 out of 10 for pain with numerous walnut sized tumors/swollen lymph nodes involving the entire region?

Sorry, this is a general information site, not a diagnosis/treatment plan site. Your friend has an enlarging growth that is painful. She needs to see a Physician, and the sooner the better. An examination, thorough history, possible imaging, possible lab tests, are required. Don't wait.

Description does not fit the typical appearance and behavior of hemorrhoids. She still may have hemorrhoids, but this is not what is causing her current symptoms. An exam will be needed, an infection from the herpes/ shingles spectrum appears likely among others. Starting with her doc/ Obs-Gyn will be best, an urgent care would be next as pain will need to be addressed as well.
