Hello Doc,
About 5 days back I found a red/pink skin tag like structure right next to the anus opening area. It doesn't normally hurt but when I try to wash it or inspect it, it does. So this thing does have some receptors.
I think it grew overnight, or maybe in a matter of a day, I'm not too sure. I keep my private parts clean and use water as well as napkins to wipe it down, so I'm guessing its not a hygiene issue.
Prior to discovering this lump, I had my periods and I'm wondering if the pads I use might have something to do with it.
Please could you give me an idea about what this might be? What caused it and how I can get rid of it? Medicines or best practices for hygiene?
Appreciate your help. TIA.
Best,
V

Dear patient,
You need to provide few more details about your diet, routine activities and also about the swelling to come to a diagnosis.
But you may try Sitz bath which can give you some relief.
And include food containing dietary fibres
