Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I saw the photo.

It looks like external hemorrhoids.
It has to be removed surgically.
If you are constipated, you need to take high fiber diet ( lots of vegetables and fruits), drink lot of fluids and take fiber supplements like metamucil.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
