mole sort of thing 1cm away from anus
2 days ago i found out having something hanging about 1cm away from the anus. First ithought its haemrrhoid but its not exactly coming out of the hole. Its colour is the same as of the rest of the skin there. I had bit of itching as well not any more. Plz tell me what is that and what to do abt it. If i should get it removed what would be the procedure?
It depends on what type of worm you have.
Thread worms (also known as pin worms) tend to cause itching at night time when the female comes out and lays eggs near the anal opening. These look like white thin threads and sometimes you can see them on your faeces like little moving threads or coming out of your anal passage to lay their eggs. Hence their name.
If you are not sure if you do have worms, make an appointment to see your doctor who can arrange for you to have a stool test or a blood test.
You can buy from the pharmacy Reese's Pinworm Medicine or get a prescription from your doctor for Vermox to treat threadworms.
You need different medicines for the different worms and parasites.

To avoid getting contaminated and ingesting worm eggs (these cannot be seen by the naked eye) always wash your hands after using the toilet or touching the pan and after touching soil. Always wash your hands before eating food and ensure that the food you eat is washed and in the case of meat and fish ensure these are thoroughly cooked. There is a risk of getting tapeworm from undercooked contaminated pork and beef.
I hope you have the information you require.
Just a word of reassurance, do not worry about have worms (if you have them) anyone can get them, so it is important to have good hygiene. If there are other members in the household, they too will have to be treated as well as yourself.
Good luck.

Thank you every one there for your concern. So its about worms. Should i take something to deworm meself?
You can get internal and external haemorrhoids.
It may also be a skin tag. Skin tags are small harmless pieces of skin that can grow anywhere on the body.
Pin worm or thread worms would cause a lot of anal itching at night time and sometimes they are visible when you empty your bowels.
If you have a skin tag these can be easily removed by the doctor if it is bothering you.
