Hello! Thanks for putting your query in XXXXXXX I am a Gastroenterologist (DM).
This may be anal tag, hemorrhoid, malignancy or wart. So I will advise you to visit a Gastroenterologist and Dermatologist. They may take a detail history and examine you. Meanwhile what you should do which I found very useful in my patients are:
1.Avoid coffee, cola, or chocolates, dairy products,citrus fruits, beer.
2.modify your cleansing habits that is stop polishing (rubbing while cleaning) anus
3.Wipe it gently with wet facial tissue or baby wipes
4.Avoiding soap and a washcloth in the shower and use plain water and hand to wash the perineum in the tub or shower.
5.Creams or emulsifying ointments may be used instead of soap.
6.Perfumed soaps and astringents (such as witch hazel) should be avoided. 7.Tissue paper or a cotton ball placed by the anus and changed several times a day will absorb moisture and create a drier environment.
8. A diet high in fiber with plenty of fluids
