Ok, i have had sex with 3 people.. Each were anal. This was about 1-2 years ago. I have a red soft bump that does not hurtan does not affect me rarely at all. The 3 people I KNOW DO NOT HAVE ANY STD because they probably would be dead by now. But i am still worried so please help!! I went to the docotors but they said it was an in-grown hair bur i feel like it would be gone by now. Please help i am 15 and an active sports player.

hi,
Welcome To HCM and Thanks For Asking Your Query here
From Your Medical history it is very likely that you might have a anal skin tag , or external Hemorrhoid which are most commonly caused by chronic constipation or diarrhea
however vigorous anal intercourse without proper lubrication may lead to a tear in anal mucosa (anal fissure) which may lead to a anal skin tag
skin tag however does not bleed a lot but if their location is such that they get rubbed easily they may bleed
for many people skin tag are harmless and doesn't hurt and require no treatment unless you want them to remove for aesthetic purpose
i would strongly suggest you to see a Anorectal surgeon to get it examine properly to rule out whether it is a skin tag or external hemorrhoid or any other ano rectal Condition
so Don't be Hesitate and go for an check up
i hope you will get well soon
Thanks Again
