What Causes A Bump On The Anal Opening?

I have a bump on the top of my anus. It just appeared today. I could feel some discomfort as I was working and when I went to the restroom as I was wiping I could feel it and it was slightly painful when touched. When I used a piece of toilet paper to touch it I even got a little blood on it. I have read some answers to questions and either way I am terrified. I dont have insurance and honestly have no money for a doctor right now. Could this be a cyst? and what should I do???

Hello
I appreciate your concern
Looking at your detailed history you might be having fissure or fistula in anus or hemorroides.
I would like further information to help you better like
relevant medical history
have you taken any medicines or adulterated food
Since how long you have this problem?

In my opinion you should consult your doctor for per rectal examination and a battery of investigations like blood for hemoglobin, CBC liver function test,and stool test

You may require a course of antibiotics under supervision of your doctor
Meanwhile please follow these guidelines
Have plenty of dietary fibers fresh fruits and vegetables
Have lots of fluids like fruit juices and ORS solutions
Avoid smoking and alcohol
sitz bath will definitely help you
Avoid constipation by taking stool softening agent like liquid paraffin
I would advise you to take anti acidity medicines like pantoprazole or rabeprazole with antacids
Have lemon water, yoghurt or curd as much you can take

Hope this answers your question
