A member asked:

The end of my anus feels very itchy and got small bump. is this hemorrhoid? could it be the symptoms of hiv? how to cure this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hemorrhoid: Itchiness and a small bump in the anal area could well be an external hemorrhoid. An abscess would be tender and may drain pus. Your pcp could diagnose it with an exam and order appropriate tests.

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?
