I'm a 20 year old male who's recently discovered a small lump right next to my anus opening. it's uncomfortable and sore, yet not really itchy or terribly painful at the moment. i've just noticed it there for about a week now. i haven't had any troubles going to the bathroom...in fact it seems i'm going quite a lot now that it hurts to wipe! i'm thinking this is a hemroid yet i have no idea. i've never had them before...nor am i very knowledgeable about them. any information as to what this may be and how i can get rid of it would be greatly appreciated. please email me at angelleye@kc.rr.com with any information you could give. thanks!

Try some preparation H and if that doesn't help it shrink or go away, then go to a doc. Hemroids usually itch.

Yes, you can get prep h it at your local drug store. I did the same as you, I kept touching/messing with it and it got worse. When I left it alone, it went away.
