What Could A Soft Squishy Anal Skin With Discomfort Mean?
embarrasing question but, over the last few months ive been noticing/feeling a soft but hard enough type bubble/piece of squishy skin near my anus normally after i poop but its never caused me discomfort, well today(after being sick with the flu for the last 7 days) i had diarrea and this bump/bubble(white/tan/skin color'd) seems alot larger/alot more discomfort. Normally i would just push it back in and move on but now i cant and im worried, what could it be?

Hi,
The piece of skin fold you feel near anus seems to be-
External pile
Prolapsed anal mucus membrane Due to straining for stools.
The stress of flu, the medicines taken has resulted in diarrheoa, the anus was stresses so, the fold at anus was enlarged & inflamed.
You can take schitz's bath,apply antibiotic+ steroid ointment -this should be sufficient.
But it's worth being checked by a proctologist & treat the condition before it gets troblesum
