What Causes Lump Around Anus?

I am 16 and I recently my butt has been itching in my crack. I looked to see why it has itched and it looks like there is a bump near my butt hole. It itches and it doesn't look like a pimple or anything. It's the same color as my skin and a little larger than pea size.

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

If I were your treating Doctor for this case of a lump around anus, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:

1.     skin or hair follicle infection due to some friction injury , worms, fungus, piles, fistula or fissure!
2.     The second possibility is of an ischiorectal abscess      
3.     The last possibility is of some infected cyst or benign tumor / tumor like condition like rectal polyp or skin tag/papilloma!
     
Overall, it is possibly inflammatory and not to worry much about this!

I suggest you to go for stool examination and see a surgeon for a physical examination and some medicines;

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
