Hemorrhoid?: A hemorrhoid (enlarged vein) seems most likely. Whatever the cause, it doesn't sound serious as long as there's no pain, bleeding, or discharge from your anus. See a doctor for exam and diagnosis you have any of these symptoms or if it continues to concern you. I hope you're taking precautions against HIV and STIs. Good luck.
