There's a bump near my anus and it's a little painful like it's just annoying right now, it felt like a pimple/cyst basically something that'd pop so i'm not sure, is it really hemorrhoids?

Probable hemorrhoid: This sounds like a typical hemorrhoid. Take a look with a mirror: if the lump is blue or purple, it's a hemorrhoid. But if in doubt, see a doctor to be certain. No matter what it looks like, don't try to pop it.
