Does this sound like HPV or hemorrhoids?
I’m having trouble figuring out exactly what it is that I have, I will be going to a clinic after I get back from the vacation I’m currently on but in the meantime I would like to try to determine what it is. First of all, I’ve only had one sexual partner. We had unprotected sex and I found out later that he has slept around. I haven’t been sexually active in a year but I know that HPV can lay dormant for months. Forgive me for being so crude about this but I need to give you the details. Back in October I noticed a small lump on my perinium, extremely close to my anus. My back end had been itching a lot as well so I did some research and found that it was probably a hemmorhoid so I bought some prep H and started applying it to the area. I have to admit that I didn’t apply it regularly and only iced the area a couple of times. I had noticed another little lump forming but since then it has disappeared. I took a mirror in the bathroom and saw that I do in fact have internal hemmorhoids, possibly a thrombosed one because my anus is swollen in some parts and dark pink. I’m constipated frequently from medication, I’m sitting down for a good portion of the day, and my diet is poor. Since then the bump that I found has gotten smaller but hasn’t gone away. Do you think this could be an anal wart? and if I go to a clinic will they even be able to treat it if it is a hemmorhoid?

the warts from hpv look like the top of cauliflower…they are small like skin tags and often come clumped in clusters….i would say you def have hemorrhoids…but yea you should get tested…i got hpv from my boyfriend when he cheated on me
it probably is a hemmorhoid, and is imminently treatable. HPV by the way, has no symptoms, it just tends to cause cervical cancer down the line. If I were you , since you had sex with someone that "sleeps around", I’d get tested for std.
