I have a small lump up inside my rectum. It seems to be protruding out through the outer part of the anus. More towards the cheek. It only hurts when I directly apply pressure. No blood , itching, as of yet. I m assuming after it has been there for a couple days it is more than likely a internal hemroid

Yes, you are right! this could well be an internal hemorrhoid. However, some other possibilities are also there like a rectal polyp, a mucosal tag, mucosal prolapse, lymphoid tissue etc...
AS PER THE DESCRIPTION, IT IS LIKELY BENIGN AND nothing to worry much but still needs confirmation!
Therefore see a surgeon for a rectal examination, colonoscopy if necessary and stool examination and to discuss about possible cure if needed!
