Purple Lumps Around Anus
Posted: 01-18-04 17:02pm

Hi I don't know if this is really a bowel question, but I couldn't find an anus forum. It might be a bowel one, I don't know. Over the past few weeks, I have noticed a dark purpleish looking sacs that have grow on the anus, outside of the anus-hole, not inside, but right at the edge, and I have noticed when I push down on them, they feel like there is a round object in them. The object feeling like a small ball, can be hard at times, and soft at other. I am not sure what it is, but it does not itch or hurt in anyway. It does not constipate me, but I am wondering why these purple lumps/sacs have all of a sudden grown there. I have not had any anal or any sex at all, so I know it cannot be a std. I did some research and my best conclusion was pinworm, but the symptons and conditions don't ass up. It doesn't itch, and they are purple. Well they feel like little egg sacs, but i'm not sure, so if someone could tell me what these small purple lumps/sacs around my anus (there are about 5 or 6 of them by the way) I would be greatly appreciated. They just randomly appeared, and are veyr tender to touch, except the biggest one, which sometimes can be hard. So if someone can get back to me, I would be obliged.

I just looked at my anus again, and I saw alot of bumps. I felt them, and they feel kind of hard. When I walk around and then look, the bumps are gone, but when I make it seem like I am about to go to the bathroom they come out again, or whenever I sit down, they come out. I think they might be worm eggs or something. Is there a limp knodes in the anus hole? Because they was a little line going down there that looked like it had bumps on it to, im not sure, but i'm starting to get scared. And it is very embarrasing.

For starters, pinworms arent really rare you know, there's more than 200 million ppl that has pinworms in the world, and a good fraction of it is in the us. They're not that harmful either, unless you're a female, then they can cause more damage.

Anyways, usually the eggs are laid outside of the anus, not under the skin. Because the way people are infected by pinworms is that an infected person will scratch their rectum and in turn will pick up some of those eggs under their nails, and then the eggs will be transferred to others from some sort of interaction between the infected person to the uninfected person.

So if it's bumps, perhaps it's skin tags that looks like bumps unless they're perfectly round.

Since you're not experincing any symptoms then you could almost eliminate that on your list, although many do not experience symptoms, but for most of the part you would experience some itchiness.

Another thing could just be that it's blood clots that forms under the skin in cases where you rub your anus too hard while cleaning.

I was going to suggest haemorrhoids too. Many years ago I was diagnosed with a thrombosed haemorrhoid which was a purple bump such as you describe. It hurt like hell. If a person can get one - I see no reason they can't get more than one.

If you do have the perple lumps, dont worry. Ive done extensive reasearch and hav come to a conclusion that yes they are pinworms. The treatement for them is to just see your docter and get a perscribed medecine which will alliminate the spread of the pinworms. I am not sure how long they last, but if you do see your docter, im sure they will tell you how long they will last for. They are harmless, and mostly just itch a lot. So for everyone who has this minor infection there is no need to worry, just get the medicine, and continue on with your life Very
Happy

sounds like hemmoroids. check out an internet photo/image and see if that is what you have.

If it is indeed hemmoroids, Preparation H feels good. Try the hemmoroid suppositories (keep chilled in refrigerator) and AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
