I was on the phone to my friend like 15 minutes ago and i suddenly felt like i had something around my anus that was irritating me and my it was a bit itchy. After our call ended i went to the toilet and my anus area was really irritating me so (as gross as this sounds) i checked myself in the mirror and i saw a little pink lump covering my anus, i described it to my mum over the phone and she said its piles. Im only 15 and i heard that usually older people get it! Is there any way i can help it get back up? and how long will it take? Thanks.
Please, no stupid answers like the one Pat just gave. Thanks.

I have some excess skin around my anus that is not painful, and I don’t recall it ever being painful. It look a little bit like labia skin, except around my anus, about the size of a small peanut. I showed my doctor, who says it is probably a remnant of a very old hemorrhoid, and told me since is doesn’t bother me, the best course is just to leave it alone.

However….I’m pretty embarrassed by it with my current boyfriend (and partners in the past). Because I’ve had it all my life, I assumed everyone had it, lol. When I discovered they didn’t, it made me self conscious, especially as I engage in anal sex. I’ve never had any "complaints", but I would still like it removed. Any experiences with this kind of removal? How long does it generally take to heal? Does it make the anus look "normal"? What techniques are the latest and greatest? My doctor seems to consider this a cosmetic surgery, and as such, thinks my insurance probably won’t cover it. Thanks for any advice.

So I think I may have a hemorrhoid. It’s not a bump, but it’s very tender and is on my anus. I heard that hemorrhoids can be under your skin too…? The thing is, I’m not very good at talking about [embarrassing] health matters with people, especially my doctor. I want to tell my family too, what do I say??? Also, I want to avoid spending money on treatments if I can help it. If I can avoid it, I would like to get a diagnosis here and learn about some home remedies [if it is a hemorrhoid.] Thanks!

Are there any complications, side effects or post-surgery scarring ?
The skin tag hangs down and covers the anus. Is there an alternative non-surgical removal?

I’m a 22 year old female with some stomach problems, and I think strain or something caused a hemorrhoid. I first noticed a bump right on the outside of my anus, and it swelled and got bigger, and now it’s this bluish color. It won’t go away with Preparation H, and I looked up pictures of it on the internet, and it says that it’s something called thromboses hemorrhoid. How do I handle this? Is there anything I can do to make it go away? I’m so embarrassed. Should I call my family doctor, or go to the hospital? Please help.
