I'm really worried because my dad found a lump near his anus. My mom and I took a look with a torch, and it's a bump right on the side. He's been in pain, and it's making it hard for him to go to the bathroom, like it's partially blocking things. I'm wondering, could this lump be cancerous? And if it's not, is there a way to treat it without needing surgery?

It is probably an external hemorrhoid. For the treatment of hemorrhoids, there are various over-the-counter medications available in India such as Smuth cream, Anovate ointment, and Proctosedyl ointment. These medications can help reduce pain, inflammation, and itching associated with hemorrhoids. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and avoiding straining during bowel movements can also help manage hemorrhoids. However, if the hemorrhoid does not improve with conservative measures, surgical options such as rubber band ligation or hemorrhoidectomy may be considered. It is best to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan based on the severity of the condition.

View allmy dad noticed a painful lump near his anus and when we checked with a torch, there's a protruding lump on the side of the anus. it's making it hard for him to pass stool since it seems to be partially blocking the opening. could this lump be cancerous or is there a way to treat it without surgery?
It sounds like your dad may have an anal abscess or possibly an external hemorrhoid, both of which can cause a painful lump and difficulty passing stool. While cancer is less common, it’s important he gets a prompt evaluation by a doctor for an accurate diagnosis. Treatment often starts with conservative measures like warm sitz baths, pain relief, and stool softeners, but some cases may need minor procedures or surgery. Please advise him to see a healthcare professional soon.

Its been a couple of days since I've noticed something like a pimple near my anus. It really hurts when I sit, and I figured it might be a pimple because theres some swelling. Do you think it could be something else, and what should I do about the pain? Any advice would be really helpful.
U can use Anovate cream, lignocaine jelly for local application for 2 weeks, sitz bath is also advised, if any side -effects dermat opinion is advised
