A fleshy lump near the anus may be caused by inflammatory external hemorrhoids or thrombosed external hemorrhoids. Thrombosed external hemorrhoids are relatively common; the lump typically appears as a blackish nodule, is notably tender to touch, and feels firm in consistency. It is strongly recommended that you visit a reputable hospital for proper evaluation, followed by targeted treatment based on the diagnostic findings—this helps prevent disease progression.
