I've noticed a lump near my anus for the past few days, but it's not actually on the anus. I'm pretty sure it's not a hemorrhoid because I already have internal hemorrhoids, and this feels different. What could this lump be?

I'm curious about the difference between the gel and solution forms of this chemical. Is it true that doctors use the solution for peeling? I'm wondering if its stronger or more effective than the gel. Could you shed some light on this?

Gel is considered better than a solution.

I'm 23 now and have had this small lesion on one side of my scrotum since I was 14. Occasionally, I notice some black colored dead skin coming off it. I looked it up online, and it seems like it might be angiokeratoma. It's not painful, but I'm worried because it seems to be spreading slowly. Should I be concerned or get it checked out?
