Thank you. From what i read, i thought a wart or possibly anal cancer. Could you tell me what the difference in appearance of wart and potentially cancer is? Because its bumpy does that lean more towards cancer possibly? Thank you fot your help. Im just stressed about it and will get it checked.
Brief Answer:
Warts are usually multiply.
Detailed Answer:
Wart is more soft. Cancer is hard when palpating it with uneven surface (like on the picture. But both can sometimes look similar.
Warts are usually multiply. Cancer is a single tumor.
But really wont tell if its more cancer or not. It looks early and totally curable. So no need to be very scared. Just get it removed and you should be fine.
