What Causes Painful Small Bump Near Anal Area?
I have a small white bump right next to my anus hole that is the size of a pea. I can move it around and it only hurts when you press on it (kind of like a pimple). I woke up one morning with extremely bad pain around my anus hole about a month ago, and then it slowly started to get smaller; to where i couldn t feel it. It is still there, but only hurts when you touch it. What could this be or what can I do to get rid of it?

Hi,
It could be warts,skin tag or small boil etc.
But confirm diagnosis can be done after clinical examination by surgeon.
Treatment includes topical trichloroacetic acid (TCA) cream application, if they are painful then surgical removal is the best choice in which electrocautery is performed to burn the warts or simple excision of tag.
You can consult surgeon for that.
