What Causes Lump Around Anal Opening?
Hi, I noticed about a week ago that I have a small lump around the opening of my anus. I kinda started to look and feel at it today and as described in other posts, it s a lump about the size of a pea. I have been having diarrhea and bad gas lately. I m just worried as to what it could be.
