Does Lump In Rectum Need Attention?

Hi, my son is 5 months old and a couple of days ago I found a small lump on his bum hole, about the size of a small jelly bean. He doesn't seem to be in any pain with it and it doesn't hurt him when I clean his bum but I'm just a bit concerned as to whether it's normal or not?
