Lump near anal opening.
I have a small external lump near my anal opening. I don't suffer from constipation. I am a little over weight and after defecation it burns a little. It doesn't bleed or pains just,on touching it hurts a little but just after defecation it burns and then again stops burning after some time. What should I do?
