I've been noticing this itchy lump right at the opening of my anus for over a month now. It's not always itchy, but it's definitely there. I'm trying to figure out what it might be and what kind of doctor I should see about it. Any advice?

Question

I've noticed this small bump under the skin near my anus recently. It's about the size of a pea and doesn't really seem discolored. I started feeling it a couple of days ago because it gets uncomfortable when I tighten around there. It doesn't hurt, just kind of feels off. I even took a picture just in case, but I'm not sure what it is. Also, no bloody stool or anything like that. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
