Itchy and sore anus, white lump between the cheeks
Posted: 09-18-07 10:15am

I noticed today that my anus is kind of itchy and sore(ish) so I checked in the mirror and notice there is a white spot/lump between the cheeks near the anus, does this sound like hemorrhoids, or something similar? If not anyone have any idea what it could be? Don't really want to go to the doctors for it, but will if I have too.

I look forward to reading your replies.

Making a Hemy Doctor Visit Really Soon!

Your problem sounds exactly like mine. I had one painful night last night with thoughts of going to the emergency room due to the same symptoms you are experiencing.

I'm pretty sure it's a hemorrhoid ... just from researching and speaking with others. I too am really NOT looking forward to visiting my doctor for this prob, but I have no choice. Using the restroom is excruciatingly painful causing bleeding.

You may want to try many home treatments. Over the counter you can buy suppositories, creams & gels (pharmacist suggested gels over creams), and medicated wipes. Reading online instructs you to sit in a warm bath. This didn't work for me, it caused further swelling. Icepacks on the hemy seemed to reduce swelling. Oh yea, buy yourself some motrin!! Good luck.
