anal mass/pain
Three days ago when using the restroom, I noticed a mass about the size of a pea had formed about 1.5 inches away from my anus. Felt like it was bruised but left it alone. The following day, it grew to the size of a Japanese peanut but discomfort followed. Swelling spread forward and reached my anus. Today, it swelled up a little more but now it brings pain when using the restroom, when coughing and seating and an additional pea sized mass formed between the original point and my anus.what can it be?
Have a doctor look at that mass so he can recommend the proper treatment for it. The increasing size and the pain are indications that you have to have your condition diagnosed properly.
I think it's boil, not anal mass or hemorrhoid. You can visit your health care provider and ask for the right medication. Do not delay treatment for it may lead to infection.
