Brief Answer:
Sounds like hemorrhoid, to be treated by cream first

Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,

this does sound like a hemorrhoid. It should get treated by otc cream. You can also try warm sitz bath. Only incase of higher stage like prolapsed and is not getting pushed back there is small surgical intervention necessary.

In this circumstance try OTC hemorrhoidal cream and sitz bath. If problem persist, please with GP or proctologist.

Hope this is helping you.
