Should I Be Concerned For Having Discoloration Around My Anus? No Other Symptoms Exist
I have some odd discoloration around my anus. It is a dark blue / purple color. There is no inflamation, soreness, discharge or any other symptom what so ever. I have no issues with bowel movements and it seems to be very harmless, but I am concerned none the less. It is only around my Anus and does not spread up or out more than maybe a half inch all the way around. No foreign object has been anywhere near the area, nor have i cause any trauma that I am aware of. Is this normal or should I be concerned?
