How Can A Hemorrhoid Be Treated?
Sorry that it is 10:49 PM at night but however I was looking in the mirror and found a dark red bump inside my asshole on the left-hand side. It looks and feels like a blood blister I am wondering if I should just pop it or leave it alone until morning where I go and see a doctor

Hi welcome to the health care magic
It can be piles like condition or it can hemangioma or prolapse like condition
For this problem you should consult general surgeon for examination and further work up accordingly...
Your proctoscooy examination should be done first
If needed stool examination done
If it is piles than initially medical management can be planned in form of stool softener, lignocaine gel and ibuprofen drug for few days
If it seems tumour than than needs surgical removal
Take care
Hope your concern solved
