What Causes Tiny Bumps Around The Outer Area Of Anus?
Question: I have noticed a bunch of tiny bumps arounf the outer area of my anus. The bumps have appeared in the past month. The YYYY@YYYY are not itchy or sore.
Brief Answer:
Please, get them checked out!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these bumps that you have reported. The fact that they have been there for the past 1 month with no other symptoms like pain or itches means they are probably not of an acute infection. This raises the issue of possible anal warts that may be caused by HPV. If I may ask, what is your sexual orientation? This would be more likely in homosexuals that heterosexuals.
For now, I will suggest that you get us an image if possible. look on the right of your dashboard and there would be an icon for you to do so. If this is not possible, at this time I will recommend that you get this examined by a physician. Your symptoms are not specific for me to conclude at this time. Your primary care doctor should make a good start.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information an clarification if need be.

I am XXXXXXX I have not had any sexual contact for over 1 year by my own choice. Pictures are attached. I live 30 miles west of Toronto, XXXXXXX Canada. Pictures attached. I am able to see my general practioner
Brief Answer:
Please, the pictures are not of good quality!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The quality of the pictures does not allow for proper inspection. At this time, I can not provide further information. I will suggest that you go and try uploading better ones for interpretation.
If this is very unlikely, then I will recommend you follow up with your primary care physician as you have mentioned. With you being a XXXXXXX this may very like represent an HPV infection but the pictures wouldn't allow me to visualize and comment further.
I wish you well and hope to hear from you.
