What Causes Itching And Burning Sensation Near The Anus?
Question: Hello, I have a question regarding my anus region. Over the past couple of weeks I have had blood on the toilet paper when that is bright red (on and off not consistently). I thought it was just a cut so ignored it. However after having a lot of blood today & feeling more irritated, I had my partner have a look and there seems to be a purple colour around my anus hole & a pea size bulge or lump with a cut on it (where I guess the blood came from). Around the rest of the area (bottom crack) seems to be red. It is a little itchy or burny but not overly irritating or painful. What could this be? I have a picture to help with diagnosis. Thanks!
Brief Answer:
Hemorrhoids.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thank you for the query.
From your description I a pretty sure you have hemorrhoids which are the main source of bleeding.
Hemorrhoids are enlarged veins so bleed easily.
You may try OTC suppositories for hemorrhoids. However it may require surgery so contacting proctologist is a good idea.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

Thank you for ur answer. I was thinking thats what it was but wasnt entirely sure as the lump is on the inside and not coming out of the anus hole. The cut is small and outside on the lump. Would you like a picture to better explain?
Brief Answer:
Yes please attach the picture.
Detailed Answer:
If you are able to attach the picture it will help to confirm the diagnosis. As the lump is inside we can say you have second degree hemorrhoids. The cut is caused by hard stool most likely.
