<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I have a bump on my anal area and it has been here for a week and a half. I dont think its a boil because its not hotter than the rest of my anus. What are some quick home remedies to get rid of it and what signs should I really be looking at to tell the difference?  <response>: Respected user, HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query thoroughly. This seems more likely to be a sentinel skin tag or hemorrhoid. Needs confirmation with clinical examination. Remedies for better outcome - Soft, light diet to get smooth bowel evacuations.- Avoid oily, spicy, non veg stuffs.- Site bath sitting in tub filled with lukewarm water 10 min each 3 times a day help a lot. Hope this clears your query. Welcome for further assistance. Regards.
