Could The Lump On The Anal Region Be Cancerous?

Hi I'm a 26 year old male and I have discovered a hard pea size lump about 1 cm inside my anus on the right hand side! It isn't painful at all, I haven't looked at it as yet but it's been there for about 3 weeks now I think! I go to the gym and do weights and was wondering if it could be from over exerting or weather it could be cancerous??? Thank you very much

Hi,Dear Thanks for the query to HCM virtual Clinic.
I studied your query with available details given in your query.
I understood your health concerns.
Cause of the painless anal lump -
From the facts given in your query,you seem to have-Sebaceous Cyst or Epidermoid Cyst- 1 cm above anus and is in the skin of anus.
I would advise Excision Biopsy after the FNAC biopsy if need be, to fix it being cancerous, which is remote possibility in your case.
Don't worry for your peri-anal lump to be cancerous till FNAC biospy HPR report confirms it.

Don't Self-treat or medicate in your case as the case may go in to further complications.

Hope this reply would resolve your query and would help you to plan treatment with your doctor.
Hope this would relieve of your health concerns.
Welcome for any further query in this regard before final suggestions are given in your query.
Wishing you fast recovery..
Have a good day.
