I have a pea sized lump on my anus i believe is a hemorrhoid(spelling) and it has a purple / blackish area on one side. what should i do about it? i would like to not have to go to a doc if possible. is it ok to just leave it alone? it is only a minor discomfort, and doesnt seem to be very bad.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have hemorrhoids. You should take high fiber diet with plenty of water.  Avoid constipation.  It will decrease the pain.  You can take local anesthetic gel like lignin.  If you have bleeding and pain then ultimate treatment is surgery.  For that you have to consult doctor. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
