Hi,
The lump in the anus area can be due to malignancy mass or protruding piles. If you post photo of lesion than further comment can be given.
If it is mass or lump than biopsy can be taken for histopathology examination to reach up to the exact cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
