There : There is a possibility that you could have a hemmorrhoid. They can be painful or itch. Repeatedly (several times a day) sitting in warm water can help the discomfort (sitz bath) try not to sit for prolonged periods. Try to eat plenty of fiber and hydrate well with water to avoid constipation.

Sound : Sound like thrombosed external hemorrhoids. Sitz bath, avoid constipation and keep area dry and clean will help. If symptoms dosenot improve a few days please seek medical evaluation.
