What Causes A Peanut Size Fleshy Lump Near My Anus?
Okay so I have a little bit of a concern, well I didn t until I got on google. I have a flesh colored, little bigger than a peanut sized lump next to my anus. It isn t hard, and feels like loose skin. It developed (or I noticed it) when I was 6 months pregnant, Sept 2013. I never had issues with constipation and I assumed it was a hemorrhoid so I applied over the counter cream. Here it is over a year later and it s still there. It never hurts or bothers me, but what could this be?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having Sentinel pile producing this type of skin tag.
It shows that there might be having internal hemorrhoids.
Consult surgeon and get examined.
Avoid constipation.
Ok and take care.
