Suggest remedy for dark purple lump near the opening of anus
Patient: Yesterday I didn t feel any discomfort, but today my anus was bothering me. I believed it to be an ingrown hair because I m a relatively hairy person, but after I got out of the shower I took a look and there was a large dark purple lump near the opening of my anus. I d prefer not to go see a doctor unless necessary. Can you tell me what it is and possibly how to treat it? Doctor: Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  You may have some hemorrhoid.  Or you may have some pilonidal sinus.  You should go for examination. Consult your doctor and go for examination.  Then plan surgery accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
