Bump Felt Just Inside Anal Canal

I'm a 47 year old male, and while cleaning in the shower today, I felt a bump just inside the anal canal basically on the other side of the sphincter. As bumps go, it felt decently large already like maybe the size of half a Tic Tac or something. Although, maybe it wasn't that big and I was miscalculating its size. I don't know how long it's been there, but my cleaning procedures are always the same so I feel I probably would have noticed it had it been there awhile so perhaps it's a fairly new development. Many oh, many, many years ago I did have a thrombosed hemorrhoid, and I do fairly frequently have blood on the toilet paper for what that's worth. Anyways, I have anxiety disorder so I really want to trip out about this, and I can't go straight to the doctor until an appointment is made so I thought I would ask here to see if anyone is answering questions on this forum and may have some insight. Thank you

Hello! Sounds like a Hemorrhoid to me. You won't like it very much but there is a quick fix. As crazy as it sounds, if you buy a small tube of Paradontax toothpaste and rub it on the exterior of your anus before you shower, it should get rid of it or at least reduce it. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions!
