Can Small, Brownish Ball Around The Anus Be Perianal Haematoma?
about two days ago i noticed a slight uncomfortable and a little painful feeling around my anas. i blew it off thinking it'd go away. today i still felt it and decided to take a look. what i found was a small ball that is kind of brownish in color and is under the skin. i tried to pop it but it seems there is a lot of skin over it. i think it might be a perianal haematoma but am not sure. any suggestions as to whether or not that's what im dealing with

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to hemorrhoids.
Some advice that I can give to you is:
- Add fiber to your diet slowly to avoid problems with gas.
- Use topical treatments.
- Apply an over-the-counter hemorrhoid cream or suppository containing hydrocortisone, or use pads containing witch hazel or a numbing agent.
- Soak regularly in a warm bath or sitz bath.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
