Hello
You mentioned that there is a lump IN THE RECTUM , you can't notice or feel any lump in the rectum until and unless it is bigger than a cricket ball .
So I think you are taking about lump on the anus , may be due to these possibilities, these include:
1 Fissure in anus , as this causes excruciating pain , so diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by a surgeon.
2 Hemorrhoids .
3 Frunculosis or pyoderma , diagnosis can be confirmed by physical inspection .
In my opinion without physical examination very difficult to diagnose .
Only pain killer will help and get an examination by a surgeon.
I find this answer helpful
