What Causes Bump On The Anus?

I have a bump on my anus near the anal opening, it doesn't give me much pain or anything to tell me that it's there, but when i try to use the bathroom it blows up into a little greyish ball and pretty much blocks the opening, I was wondering if this is a Hemorrhoid

It is most likely an external haemorrhoid which swells up with blood during straining for defecation. Have you had any bleeding in form of drops of blood after passing stools or stools lined with a streak of red blood? This along with pain could point towards a fissure in ano and the lump could then be a sentinel tag. Do let me know. Either way if it is not troubling you much you can keep it under observation and keep your stools soft with a lot of fibre in your diet and minimal complex carbohydrates. Take care and look forward to hearing from you.
