Hello,
Is it firm or soft? Since, when are you suffering from this problem?
The possible causes are:
1. Hemorrhoids
2. Anal warts
3. Polyps
4. Skin tag et cetera
Until examination is done, it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your doctor, he/she will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
