Hemorrhoid: Sounds like you could have a hemorrhoid. The best way to find out is to have someone look at it. See your doc. In the meantime, keep the area clean and dry. That should help. Take care!

I'm not sure of the scenario either, but I don't think laser hair removal is indicated so close to any mucosal area like nostrils, anus, or even on the eyebrows! Please try a bikini wax, that would be safer.
