What Does A Lump Near The Anus Indicate?

I'm 18 years old, just under 6 foot in height and weigh about 8 1/2 stone. This morning woke up and had a shower, while I was cleaning I noticed a little lump near my Anus anyway checked it out and its white feels a little uncompfortable but doesnt really hurt. Don't have a clue what it is? Its not that big either

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Little lump at the anus without much symptoms is suggestive of a small cyst or so.
This can be confirmed by the following:
Consult a General Surgeon for clinical evaluation, actual examination, per-rectal digital examination to see if this lump is related internally.
If there is any evidence of infection your Doctor will give an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medications.
Do Sitz bath in a tub with warm water.
Take laxative to keep the stools soft.
Do not pop or so as this may spread the inflammation.
If this is a cyst then you may need a small surgery to get this removed.
I find this answer helpful
