What are the painless soft bumps on my anus?

I have four-five pea/larger sized soft bumps on my anus that can be squeezed (they're soft) and are absolutely painless. Should I be worried? I'm 16 with no prior health issues.

Are these bumps new?  Are they outside the anus?  Hemorrhoids can be outside the anus and are like 'grapes' if you can picture that.  External hemorrhoids often have some discomfort with them though intermittently.  However, they can be painless.  Are you a little constipated or anything causing you to strain during bowel movements?  Are you at all overweight?  those are two risk factors for developing these.  More fiber in the diet can help.  I like Tucks for these or obviously prep h put on.

If they continue, you should tell your doctor.  Don't be embarrassed, these things happen.
