What Is The Lump On The Edge Of The Anus?

I have a pea sized lump on the edge of my anus at the bottom close to my testicles. It's a bit sore if I squeeze it but only like a 3 on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the most painful. I just noticed it and I haven't had any problems going to the bathroom I just noticed the tenderness.

Hi,
This is likely to be a simple skin tag. These do not usually need any treatment. However, if it is giving you problems, it can be surgically removed.
