What Causes Lump On Butt Opening?
I have a small pink lump on my butt opening. Its been there for a year or so, it doesnt hurt, there is not blood in stool, and its squishy. I thought it might be extra skin because I have torn my anus when having a bowl movement before, is that possible or should I get it checked out?

Your symptoms are suggestive of external haemorrhoids. if you are not experiencing any sort of pain, please ensure that you avoid having constipation, and for that you need to dring plenty of water, have a high fibre diet. you should take syrup lactulose every night,before going to bed. Please avoid putting pressure while defeacating. in case you are suffering from pain,then you would need to add analgesic to the regime mentioned above. Lastly, if you are passing stool stained with fresh blood, then it advisable to get a colonoscopy/anoscopy done. take care and have a rapid recovery
