A member asked:
What could a lump represent on my rectal area other than a hemorrhoid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possibilities: A pruritic mass in the perianal area can be many things. Internal/external hemorrhoids can protrude and cause itching, and is easily diagnosed on physical exam. Fistula with abscess, inclusion cysts of skin, and condyloma also can give these symptoms. Rarely cancers of the skin or rectum can protrude. See a general surgeon for complete exam, endoscopy and biopsy if necessary!
