Hi,
you should be examined by a general surgeon as any lump can not be neglected. other associated history like bleeding per anus , persistent diarrhea , anorexia, weight loss to be mentioned. If your doctor thinks it to be suspicious he/she may order a tissue diagnosis. Follow your doctors' advise.
