25/f. In the last two weeks I have become increasingly aware that it would seem my anus is turning purple. It started with one small spot (about the size of a pea, mind you it was a spot and not a lump). It looked like a very small bruise. After this was brought to my attention by my partner I began to pay closer attention. Now almost 2 weeks later and almost the entire anus is purple! The anus itself has always been lumpy looking but I have not noticed any out of the ordinary lumpiness. No problems passing stool (although I am not a daily go-er, usually every other day), no pain, no bleeding, and no server itching (maybe once or twice a day). I ve read plenty about hemorrhoids but I don t feel that my symptoms match up to their description other than the discoloration. Is it still possible that this purple overtaking of my anus could be a form of hemorrhoids? If not, What else could it be??
Hellos you mentioned complete history, so this is not hemorrhoids or fistula in anus. This type of bluish (purple) discoloration may be due to these reasons, these include;1 Edematous dermatitis, diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by a dermatologist .2 Atherosclerosis, due to diminished blood supply in this area, such type of discoloration stars. 3 Hyper pigmentation due to melanin deposits. Diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination. Since this discoloration increasing, so consult a dermatologist and get his opinion. Good luck.
