Hello dear See as per clinical history it could be anny irritational growth as in hammorhoids or traumatic growth like lipoma Differential diagnosis includes lipoma or benign tumors I suggest you to please get following tests done for confirmation Rectal examination ( physical) Anoscopy Sigmoidoscopy/ colonoscopy Biopsy Kindly share the reports with general surgeon/ general physician for further evaluation Hopefully you recover soon Regards
Apply Lignocaine jelly 2% before defecation (for pain relief). Use Sitz bath (lukewarm water with a pinch of salt) for 10–15 minutes twice daily.
Most likely an anal skin tag or small hemorrhoid. With proper local care, sitz bath, and ointments, symptoms improve. If growth persists or causes frequent discomfort, minor surgical removal is considered.
In person consultation would be a better option for physical examination. Thank you.
A skin outgrowth around the anus with pain and itching could be due to piles, fissures, or a skin tag from past inflammation. Homeopathic medicines alone may not fully treat the cause if symptoms persist. Please consult a gastroenterologist or a colorectal surgeon for proper evaluation and treatment.
Loose skin and discomfort around the anal area can often be due to skin tags, hemorrhoids, or fissures, each of which would have slightly different management routes. The fact that you’re experiencing pain during bowel movements and itchiness could suggest hemorrhoids or an anal fissure. Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectal area, which can result from straining, prolonged sitting, or other issues like pregnancy. An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anus, usually resulting from passing hard or large stools. It’s good that your stool is soft, as this can aid in preventing further strain. However, management often focuses on tackling the symptoms and underlying triggers. Make sure you’re drinking plenty of water and maintaining fiber in your diet, as these can help keep stools soft and regular. Warm sitz baths can be soothing and might help reduce discomfort. Over-the-counter topical treatments might also offer relief from itchiness and pain. However, because the exact nature of the outgrowth hasn’t been established, you may want to visit a healthcare provider to get a proper diagnosis. There is also a possibility of more serious conditions that can’t be ruled out without a physical examination, like anal warts or skin neoplasms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, or if there’s any bleeding, it’s important to seek medical assessment sooner rather than later, as these could indicate complications or the need for further intervention.
