What Causes Small Bump Near Anus?
it's a lump or a bump right next to the anus hole(its external), and it looks pinkish, like a large whart, Its about the size of a pea, and it literall feels like there is a pea in this lump. I can move it it around a little. It dosn't hurt, sometimes there is a little blood. I noticed it about 3 weeks ago, and it doesnt seem to be getting smaller.

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Yes, your observation is so right. This looks to be an organised small abscess. IT becomes painless and moves freely.
You can leave it alone to be healing on its own or consult a surgeon to confirm and may be get excised to avoid any possible complication later on.
This is the area under friction and movement all the time to walk, sit and work.
So why to take chances ?
