I don't know how to post the picture. Colonoscopy was Monday but I just noticed today. Could have been there longer. No itching. No rash. No pain.

Good news, it is just a lipoma.

Great, this is a relieving answer.
Thanks for your feedback and have a great day.
It was the right thinking that the lump can not develop due to BP cuff after such a long time.
