Hi.
Thanks for your query.
You have great observation and really put the problem in a proper words of explaining :
The lump which hard, mobile at the anal verge which is movable and covered by epithelial cells can be due to :
-Prolapsed thrombosed pile.
-Sebaceous or such cyst.
The best way would be:
Get the diagnosis confirmed by clinical evaluation, direct examination including ano-proctoscopy by a General Surgeon.
Get operated as it is never a good idea to keep any of such swellings near the anal verge for 2 reasons
1. you get rid of the problem
2. you get the [proper diagnosis and histo-pathology report.
In the meantime , take laxatives if you have hard stools.
Antibiotics and metronidazole and probiotics if there are signs and symptoms of intestinal infection
