What Causes Mass On The Upper Portion Of The Anal Opening?
Hi, My daughter is 15 months old. Today my wife noticed a small mass on the upper portion of the opening of the anus. It seems to be around 1 cm long. It is not red no pus and is of skin color. WE are bit worried is that a normal body part or some kind of cyst ?

HI
Thanks for posting your query.
No it is not a normal body part , most likely it seems to be an over growth of skin ( warts ) .
It needs a personal examination to diagnose or else kindly upload the picture of it. It may require excision and hence you do need to consult your doctor. There is no need to worry.
Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
