What Causes Bumps And Purple Discoloration Around The Anus?
All around my anus is purple. There are pea-size bumps around it. There used to be only one bump. It is itchy and not usually, but sometimes a little painful. I'm only fifteen. Do you know what it is? How can I get rid of it? I'd rather not go to the doctor..

Hello,
I really appreciate your concern. It could be swelling, may be due to infection, formation of boil is very likely. In differential diagnosis hemorrhoid needs to be ruled out, NSAID can be tried, and best is tab Ibuprofen, but correct diagnosis is a matter of concern as long as the medicine and cure are concerned.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
