Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I hope you can help, I noticed yesterday as I was in the shower that I have a small pea-sized lump around my rectum. It is a small tender lump and is slightly painful when I go to the toilet and I can feel its slightly painful when sitting down..its more of an annoying pain. I think because I know its there its just annoying. Could u tell me what this is possibly and what I need to do to get rid of it?
The possibility of early external hemorrhoids or wart or folliculitis or boil etcetera. Unless examination is done, it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
