Brief Answer:
As discussed in details below.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback.
Since the swelling is present for 2 weeks without much symptoms it may be a small cyst.
It would be better to get this confirmed and also will allow your Doctor to review you for the gas problems.
Get stool and blood tested and an ultrasonography of the abdomen so that an appropriate treatment can be started and get the confirmed diagnosis of the lump near anus; preferably consult a General Surgeon.
