Hello i was washing yesterday and i noticed a lil bump real small but noticeable to the thetouch a want to say kinda like a tiny skin tag i was wondering if this is a hemorrhoid and a lil bit uper right before my anl canal opening there is a lump under the skin that moves when i move it and it seems like its connected to small hard veins again this is veing felt under the skin in the anus area can u plz give me an idea of what this is as i am thinking the worst like cancer ...i have went to the doctor and he did a rectal exam with a lubed glove and said its nothing to be worried about he did say hemorrhoids but im thinking what if its something else
From the history it appears to me that it is more likely a skin tag only... In medical term we call it as sentinel pile. The reason for such tag in anal region could be either due to a fissure (ulcer) in anus or a fibrosis (healed) hemorrhoids. There is nothing much to worry about such lesions. Wash your anal region thoroughly after passing stools because if the skin tag gets stained with stool it can cause some itching. If it's still causing persistent problem you can get it excised but most of the time it will not cause any problem. About cancer, since already a doctor has done a rectal examination and found its normal the possibility of cancer is unlikely.I hope I have answered you queries.have a good day.
