What Does Bleeding Reddish Purple Bump Near Anal Area Indicate?
I have about a 3-5cm bump on the inside of my cheek about a inch or two away from my anus. It s not really painful but it s bleeding a bright red and the color of this lump is redish purple, almost as if it s bruised or a blood blister. What could it be and what should I do?

Hi! thanks for sharing your health problem with us!
Well, this is a fairly common problem in people with chronic constipation or perineal infections and after careful detailed examination in such cases usually I get few possibilities like:
1. inffected peri-anal or anal fistula
2. an infected inclusion cyst
3. pyogenic granuloma or infected hemangioma
4. infected sinus or skin tag
Therefore, a rectal examination is necessary for confirmation; please see a surgeon and there is nothing to worry much as this is infective only never malignant.
