Suggest Treatment For Two Painful Lumps On The Rectal Area

Hey I have two lumps near my rectum but it started off as one (I think) I discovered the other one a week ago. The thing that concerns me is the first one I noticed was really big at the start probably the size of two peas put together but then it went down. I really don t want to tell my mother about this because it s embarrassing but I really don t want it to be cancer. I m a 17year old and I know it s rare for it to happen but it can and that s what scares me. But the other lump is smaller than the first one I saw & I can t make out the color of them. They don t hurt and they haven t bled but they get itchy from time to time and it s soft. If you can get back to me that would be much appreciated
