The WCRF (World Cancer Research Fund) has released a report saying that eating ham can cause bowel cancer. I’m wondering, does this just refer to cheap "processed" ham made from reconstituted meats, or does it also refer to premium hams such as serrano, parma, or any quality cooked/sliced ham?

I have a lump near my anus, which is only slightly raised but quite hard. It is slightly red, and quite painful when pressed…I know it’s there when I am walking around sometimes and when I sit down. It seems to have a very slight dishcarge, which is a white-pink colour. Is this a hemorrhoid? If so what is the best treatment? I have never had anything like this before, I don’t have any problems going to the toilet or anything. If it isn’t a hemorrhoid what could it be? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

My friends has …one of those.
She said never to tell anyone, because she is scared of telling the docter.
she is only 12.
She asked me cause i one year older then her and i was her mature-est. (lol) friend.

She wants to know if theres any over the counter treatments at the pharmecy like lotations or something like that.
She said it was a external one, so it had no affect on her insides,
but she wants to know how it got there.
and how to get rid of it. without embarrssing herself.
