What Causes Lump Under Bumhole?
i have a small raised lump just under my bum hole, when i pinch the area i can feel a hard lump under this area. Is it meant to be there? It is not sore just raised and slightly red. I have recently been suffering with diaorrea so not sure if i have just irritated the area.
Thank you

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
This lump is not a normal thing and should not be there. It might be a hemorrhoid or an abscess due to some anal fistula.
Hemorrhoid is usually attached to the verge of the rectum, can give occasional bleeding.
Abscess is usually painful, swollen and can cause fever and general illness.
I suggest you to consult a surgeon with this issue.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
