Peri-anal lump: Could you be referring to fissures, fistula, abscess? Sexually transmitted disease (syphilis, gc, hiv, etc.) should be considered. Hemorrhoids ; rectal prolapse can appear as an outward bulging. Anal trauma of any kind may cause mechanical injury. Skin eruptions need to be considered. Evaluation is recommended to distinguish serious versus less concerning reasons for your problem as described.

Cannot diagnose w/ou: actually seeing or perhaps biopsying. Hemmorrhoids and warts are common, cancer is quite uncommon/rare and you would have to consider possibility of really unusual cancers (cutaneous Lymphoma, lymph node from Hodgkins in a very unusual spot, etc.)
