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?

The itchy lump at the anus opening could be a hemorrhoid, anal tag, or a skin condition like eczema or psoriasis; schedule an appointment with a general surgeon

View allI'm dealing with piles for about a month now and I'm kind of worried. I'm wondering, do smoking and drinking make the pain worse when I go to the bathroom, or do they have any bad effects on my piles? Also, I'm currently using Anovate cream. Is that a good choice? I haven't seen a doctor about this yet.
Smoking and drinking can indeed worsen the symptoms of piles. They can cause irritation to the digestive system and lead to increased pain during bowel movements. It is advisable to avoid smoking and drinking to help alleviate the pain associated with piles. Regarding the Anovate cream, it is a good choice for treating piles. You can apply a small amount of Anovate cream externally around the anal area after cleaning the area thoroughly. It is recommended to use Anovate cream as per the instructions provided on the packaging or as directed by a healthcare professional.
