This is very embarrassing to talk about, but I really need to know what it is so I can relax and stop stressing. I’ve noticed while using the bathroom, that I have a lump around the opening of my anus. It seems like it’s external but it can go inside as well but it comes out a bit. I’m not sure if I’m describing this right, lol. It’s about the size of a pea or smaller, isn’t hard, and isn’t tender or sore to the touch. The colour is red, in some light it looks a wee bit purplish but it may just be my lighting, it basically looks red. I am experiencing no discomfort or itchiness at all, it’s just a lump there. I was wondering what this may be? I am a very clean person, I wash my vaginal and anus area each time I use the bathroom, I consume a lot of fiber in my diet, I drink a lot of fluids. This appeared a few days ago and it is really worrying me. I have been using Triamcinolone cream on it today that I have in hopes that it will reduce the swelling and rid me of the problem. I am only 18 years old, I’m not sure if it is hemorrhoids, or if it’s something else, or something that will disappear within a few days and not show up again (would be nice if it didn’t). I’m currently trying to make sure I lay on my left side instead of sitting, and I try to get up and walk around in case it is an external hemorrhoid. Can anyone help? I’m willing to provide more details if needed. Please and thank you!
Oh, I do tend to eat a lot of spices and have been consuming them a lot over the past month.

K, this is really embarressing. I use laxatives everyday (the doctor said it was fine) so I can go to the bathroom and some times I still don`t go for a few days. When ever I do it`s like diarrhea but not a lot of it. My butt has been hurting REALLY bad the last few days, it`s unbearable. I also haven`t went in the past few days. Well, now I`m pretty sure I have a hemorrhoid but not for sure. So what causes it? How can you tell? What are the symptoms? Also if you know what I can do about that would be great. Thanks!

The past few days iv been experiencing constipation, and yesterday/today iv noticed very uncomfortable pain when using the restroom, aswell as seeing blood both on the toilet paper and in the toilet. The bleeding really initially started yesterday, is it possible to let the inflamed veins heal themselves while i just take something that will stop my constipation, but no medicine that will actually directly help the hemorrhoid?
