What Does A Lump Near The Anus Indicate?
There is a slightly larger than pea-sized lump under my skin near my rectum. It is soft to touch, but firm when I move it around. It is painless and has been there for a month nearly. It is also flesh colored. I don’t want to worry but I feel I should know what it is at this point. What does this sound like?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You need to consult a proctologist or a surgeon as it could be:
1. Sentinel skin tag in a person with fissure in anus if you have constipation and hard stools.
2. A perianal abscess (get the sugars checked).
3. Prolapsed haemorrhoids if constipation and history of straining present.
4. Look for any rectal polyp.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nataraj Naidu R
