What Does Occurrence Of Brown Spots/moles Around Anus Indicate?
I'm 26 years old and have always had a small brown mole near my anus. After feeling some irritation, I decided to check the area out in the mirror and was shocked to find a bunch of tiny moles that look like brown dots, all around the anus. I can't remember the last time I looked down there, but know they weren't there before. What could they be?

Hi, and thanks for using HCM question service.
Small moles in that area could be compatible with human papilloma virus. The brown color is because the area (anus) has more melanin than other parts of the body. However, the definitive diagnosis only is given to you with a biopsy study of injuries, so I strongly recommend you to visit a specialist.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Remember in order to have a good diagnosis, a physical evaluation is necessary.
