What Causes Bump On Anal Area In A Bisexual Male?
Question: Sexually active bisexual male with bump on my anus/buttock I usually shave this area I may have ingrown hair? Maybe std?
Brief Answer:
Genital wart is the most possible reason.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
The attached picture is very shadowy. Its hard to tell basing on it. Can you please attach a clear picture?
This bump looks like a genital wart due to HPV infection (a virus). This condition belongs to STDs indeed.
Ingrown hair usually appears in the butt crack. It gives a tiny hole visible in this area and a swollen, painful lump. It is called pilonidal cyst.
I suggest you to show this bump to a dermatologist. If its a wart, can be removed by a dermatologist or a general surgeon with local anesthesia.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
