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?

A small, pea-sized bump near the anus can be a perianal hematoma, an anal skin tag, or a small external hemorrhoid, but it's essential to consult a surgeon

I've had an anal fissure with a sentinel tag since December 2018. It improves with treatment but flares up again as soon as I stop meds. Doctors say surgery is the only fix, but I really want to avoid that. Are there any other options that could help long-term without needing an operation?

surgery opinion is advised to the patient.
