Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello I have an embarassing question. I seem to have a hard like bump in my anus. Its almost a flesh/purple color. It hurts sometimes when touched or messed with. I asked a nurse and she said it could possiby be a staph infection, but it is not red and its more of a lump than a bump. What could this be and should I be concered or will it go away on its own? Thank you!
Thanks for posting your query o Health care magic . What I have understand your problem and find that it could be anal fissure or haemorrrhoides .these two are common in person passing hard stool or having constipation . I dont thing it as Staphylococcus infection .If you are thinking about infection you need to collect dischaarge or ake a swab from that lesion ain a sterile container and send it to Microbiology lab for culture and sensitivity testing . You should consult to a general surgeon for local examinaion and take treatment accordingly . thanks .
