Hi.
Thanks for your query and photos.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Please give some additional information for me to assist you better:
Does the mass outside feel soft or hard?
Any pain or tenderness (pain on pressure)?
Do you feel any lump at the anal verge (other than seen in photo) or in inguinal (groin) area?
Any history of constipation or hard stools?
Any change in bowel habits? Like loose stools sometimes and hard other times?
Any problem or needs a force to pass out the stool?
Any other information, please.

Please, details for each question.

Hello,

The lump feels a little like a grape
The lump I can push back inside. When I do I can feel it right inside (not even a fingertip inside ) but right at the surface
I don't feel additional lump and my groin feels fine
Not to much pain but more burning sensation and pressure.
My stools has been normal . I have always been one to push my stools out quickly opposed to waiting for it to pass naturally. This did pop up after diarrhea. My stools were off for a week when I started Keto.
Going the restroom if pretty normal. Sometimes a little sting but otherwise not to much discomfort .
No bleeding or change in color of my stools
All these questions makes me think I can cancer????

Brief Answer:
As explained below.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback.
In fact all these answers indicate this to be a pile/hemorrhoid. And NOT cancer.
All the feedback is indicating this to be hemorrhoid.
Hence stop worrying unless the Per-rectal Examination and ano-proctoscopy indicate otherwise.
So no worry at the moment.
Cancer-phobia, I can understand.
Cancer has a history of altered bowel movements, has a mass that can not be reduced, is hard and usually bleeds even on touch. You have none of these.

I hope this answer helps you.
Please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
Will be waiting for your feedback on examiantion by your Doctor.
Take care.
Stop worrying unnecessarily as it does not help in anyway.
