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?

View allI'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 noticed a small bump or boil on the outside of my anus that showed up out of nowhere. It's been around for four days and hasn't gotten any smaller. I came across some info online, and it seems like it could be either piles or a hemorrhoid. I'm worried because I'm not sure which it is or what I should do next. Any advice or suggestions would really help.
A small bump or boil on the outside of your anus could be a perianal abscess, a skin tag, or an anal gland infection, rather than piles or hemorrhoids, which typically occur inside the anus, and given that it hasn't reduced in size after four days, it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist
