I might have chlamydia or hemorrhoids because I've noticed a lump near my anus. There's also a cluster of acne-like bumps without any pus, almost like muscle growth. I'm really worried. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of hemorrhoids, which are swollen veins in the rectum and anus that can cause discomfort and a lump near the anus. To help with the symptoms, you can try using over-the-counter medications such as Preparation H (hydrocortisone) cream to reduce swelling and discomfort. It is important to keep the area clean and dry, and to avoid straining during bowel movements. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
