Hi and welcome to HCM, thanks for the query.
In some cases hemorrhoids may be misdiagnosed with cancer but most commonly the difference can be determined by physical examination. Crust is nonspecific sign and it doesn't inidacte cancer. It is more likely to be thrombosied hemorhoids. However,it here is any doubt,then biopsy should be done. Also hemorrhoids can be treated by various methods if this makes problem and pain for you.
Wish you good health.Regards
