My husband has had this round lump near his anus for a few months now. Sometimes it's really painful, and other times it's not bothering him at all. Should we be concerned about this? What type of doctor would be best to consult for something like this?

Ask him to avoid straining for stools, avoid lifting heavy objects and have high fiber diet. And consult a general surgeon

View allI'm having a tough time with this burning and itching around my anus, and there's even blood when I go to the bathroom. I noticed a small piece of tissue or something external there, and it's really painful when I pass stool. The discomfort lasts all day, making it hard to sit or walk. After seeing the doctor, they mentioned it looks minor and focused on easing my constipation with some ointment and syrup to soften the stool. That part's a bit better now, but the opening feels too small, and this external pile makes it difficult when I go to the bathroom. I dealt with piles about two years ago, and medication helped within a few weeksit hasn't been an issue until now. I'm really eager to find a permanent solution for this external issue. Any advice on the best approach to tackle this?
To help with the pain, itching, and burning, you can use Preparation H ointment to reduce inflammation and discomfort. For permanent relief, you may need to consider a surgical procedure called hemorrhoidectomy to remove the external pile. In the meantime, continue using the ointment as directed and maintain soft stools with the syrup provided by your doctor. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with piles and fissures for about a year now and medicines haven't helped much. I'm 25 and really worried should I consider surgery at this point? What would you recommend for my situation?
I can understand your concern. Surgery is the better option.,it won't shrink on its own. You can use pilex ointment for local application.

I've been dealing with a small, pea-sized skin tag near my anus, and it's really painful when I pass stools. Sometimes, it even bleeds. I've tried eating bananas to soften the stools, but it doesn't seem to help. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should be doing to alleviate the pain and bleeding?
take soft diet
