I've noticed this small hard lump near my anus. It doesn't really hurt unless I press on it, then it hurts a bit. Should I be concerned about this? What could it be?

**Rephrased user query:** I've had an anal fissure for two weeks and my doctor prescribed antibiotics, fidonal cream, and sitz baths with betadine. But I'm confused about two things why did he say to avoid non-veg food for a month? How does that affect the fissure? Also, can I just use my finger to apply the cream instead of the applicator? And if I end up needing surgery, how long until I can get back to my normal routine?

Non Veg causes constipation in few induviduals so that might aggravate your fissure symptoms...You can use ur finger too to apply as its designed like that whereas while using your fingers u have ur nails so u feel discomfort...After fissure surgery u can return back to normal in two days

I noticed a small muscle-like bulge near my anal area but there's no bleeding. Could this be piles or an external hemorrhoid? Do I need surgery for this or are there other treatment options?

While often harmless and may resolve on their own, it's important to consult a doctor for diagnosis and to rule out other potential causes, especially if you experience pain or bleeding
