[|Human|] Hello I have an embarassing question. I seem to have a hard like bump in my anus. Its almost a flesh/purple color. It hurts sometimes when touched or messed with. I asked a nurse and she said it could possiby be a staph infection, but it is not red and its more of a lump than a bump. What could this be and should I be concered or will it go away on its own? Thank you!
[|AI|]  Thanks for posting your query o Chat Doctor . What I have understood your problem and find that it could be anal fissure or hemorrhoids.these two are common in person passing hard stool or having constipation. I don't thing it as Staphylococcus infection. If you are thinking about infection you need to collect discharge or AKE a swab from that lesion ain a sterile container and send it to Microbiology lab for culture and sensitivity testing. You should consult to a general surgeon for local examination and take treatment accordingly.thanks.
