What causes a lump on the anus?
Patient: I have a bump on my anal area and it has been here for a week and a half. I don't think it's a boil because it's not hotter than the rest of my anus. What are some quick home remedies to get rid of it and what signs should I really be looking at to tell the difference? Doctor: Respected user , HiThanks for using Healthcaremagic.comI have evaluated your query thoroughly .*  This  seems  more  likely to be a  sentinel  skin tag  or hemorrhoid .*  Needs  confirmation with clinical examination .*  Remedies for better outcome -  Soft, light diet to get smooth bowel evacuations .-  Avoid oily , spicy , non veg stuffs .-  Sitz bath ( sitting in tub filled with lukewarm water 10 min each 3 times                    a  day ) help a lot .Hope this clears your query .Welcome for further assistance .Regards .
