Hello!

Thank you for the query.

It this lump is attached to the verge of the rectum, hemorrhoid is the most probable reason. If this lump is higher in the butt cheek pilonidal cyst it is. Pilonidal cyst is a condition caused by ingrown hair. There should be visible tiny hole in the lump area. Pilonidal cyst can get infected and turn into painful abscess. That is why it should be removed by a surgeon.
Hemorrhoids if not causing any symptoms can be left alone. Without surgery you can not get rid of them however in case of inflammation you can make them smaller with hemorrhoids suppositories.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
