Brief Answer:
It looks like a sentinel pile.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
As per your description, it looks like sentinel pile.
It occurs due to Fissure in ano, a crack in the anus.
Another possibility is WART.
Please consult your Surgeon and get examined clinically.
Both these conditions are not dangerous.
Wart can be easily excised.
If it is sentinel pile, then you have to take plenty of liquids and high fiber diet.
If it is still present even after the above measures, it has to be removed.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query.
If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
Regards
