Can Birth Control Be The Reason For The Lump Outside The Anus?

Hi, I'm a 20 year old female. About a week ago I notice a lump outside of my anus but directly on the opening. It wasn't sore at first but now it is tender and it squishy yet it feels hard when you push down on it. I also have one on my clitorus and it is painful and itchy. I'm getting very worried. I just started taking birth control about 4 weeks ago, could that have anything to do with it? If you know what it could possibly be, please help! Thank you!

Hello
lump at opening of anus could be hemorrhoids or herpes infection
Itchy clitoris with a lump could be related to STI
in my opinion you should consult your doctor for examination and a battery of tests like blood for hemoglobin CBC blood sugar and urine for culture and sensitivity test

Have plenty of fluids and dietary fibers to flush off the genitourinary tract as well as to avoid constipation
you can use antiseptic solutions to be applied locally to avoid infection
maintain good hygiene
Best wishes
