Brief Answer:
Boil / Cyst / Thrombosed pile.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and history.
Bump inside the anus of the size of a BB which is not bleeding but firm may be due to a small boil or a cyst.
Hemorrhoid is always painless and very soft that can not be palpated unless gets thrombosed.
So the chance of this being a hemorrhoid is less and possible only if this is thrombosed.
This can be confirmed only by a Digital (finger) tests and Proctoscopy done by a Surgeon.
There is no point in applying anything locally unless advised by the Doctor.
I hope this helps you to get an early diagnosis.
