What Causes Hard Lump Near Anus Which Is Bleeding?
Had what felt like hard lump near any's for four days (very painful). This morning it started to bleed and the relief was immediate. I now have a temp of 99.6 and am concerned about infection. Earliest my Dr could see me is late tomorrow afternoon. Should I go to an urgent care facility today?

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Hard lump near anus which gets pain and bleeds is most likely a hemorrhoid with blood clot inside. Such blood clot can get infected and result with an abscess formation.
That is why I suggest you to do not wait with it and visit ER. Blood clot should be evacuated. As you are bleeding, hemoglobin level should be also checked.
Please do not wait with it.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
