Just wondering if someone might have experienced or have a family member who has had this problem. Yesterday, I kind of felt something weird, or like a bit of pain that I hadnt felt before, so I decided to examine. There was a pink discolorated place beside my anus (but not in it or anything). Anyway, if you push on it, it feels like a hard lump. I freaked out and went to the ER because my worst fear is cancer. The doctor just said "I'm sorry but I dont know what that could be". He put me on antibiotics and said to take a bath 4Xs a day and referred me to a surgeon (again, another of my worst fears). This problem has a dull, warm, aching pain. Its kind of a lot like an ingrown hair, but worse and no head on it like an ingrown hair has. Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge of what this could be. I am really worried about it and have never known of it to happen to anyone else. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Anal and perianal disorders are a major cause of outpatient referrals accounting for about 20% of the cases seen.

These disorders are often extremely embarrassing and distressing to the patient and these features probably account for why the patient often waits a long time before seeking medical advice.

Most anal and perianal disorders can be treated on an outpatient basis. However, abscesses and haemorrhoids that have been strangulated or thrombosed may present as surgical emergencies.
anal carcinoma
Medical search






The majority of cancers within the anal canal are squamous cell carcinomas. Normal skin lines the anus and rarely, basal cell carcinomas may arise in this area. Malignant melanomas can occur in the anal canal or the anus.

Anal carcinoma is uncommon.

It is usually infiltrative and ulcerating. Lymphatic spread is to groin lymph nodes. In extensive disease, spread may occur to para-aortic and iliac nodes

anal warts
Medical search






Anal warts are benign tumours of the epidermis induced by inoculation of specific papova viruses; they are usually transmitted by sexual activity.

If the immune system is compromised, they can present major problems to cure.

The general principles of management of warts is presented in the menu below. Note that if surgical excision under local anaesthetic is the only practical treatment option, then normal skin between the warts needs to be carefully preserved so as to avoid delays in healing and anal canal stenosis.

It is prudent to consider the HIV and hepatitis B status of the patient, and counselling as to the wart presence and treatment of sexual partners

haemorrhoids
Medical search






Anal continence requires the apposition of three mucosal pads which:

are composed of subepithelial vascular cushions
are found in the left lateral, right anterolateral and right posterolateral portions of the anal canal
form haemorrhoids when the pads become enlarged and congested
Haemorrhoids may cause:

anal pain
pruritus ani
bright red rectal bleeding
Haemorrhoids are very common and can occur at any age.

hidradenitis suppurativa
Medical search






Hidradenitis suppurativa is a deep-seated inflammatory condition that produces lesions which mainly occur in the axillae and groins. Hidradenitis is primarily an acne-like follicular occlusion disease where apocrine glands only become involved in the context of peri-follicular inflammation - it is not a primary disease of apocrine glands (1,2,3)

perianal abscess
Medical search






Perianal abscesses are common surgical emergencies. They may present acutely or insidiously with perianal pain, tenderness and swelling.

Ischiorectal lesions are the commonest, but abscesses may be perianal, intermuscular or pelvirectal.

Men are affected more often than women.

perianal haematoma
Medical search






A perianal haematoma is an acutely painful condition that often has an onset after straining at stool. The haematoma is caused by rupture of a blood vessel beneath the anal skin. On examination, there is a blue-black bulge in the skin near the margin of the anus. Sometimes this condition is described as a 'thrombosed external pile' but it is not related at all to haemorrhoids.

Generally the perianal haematoma resolves over a few days and the patient requires only oral analgesia. If the pain becomes intolerable then it is possible to excise and drain the haematoma under anaesthesia.

pilonidal sinus
Medical search






'Pilonidal' means a nest of hairs. A pilonidal sinus is a sinus that contains a tuft of hairs. These sinuses are commonly found in the skin covering the sacrum and coccyx but can occur between the fingers, particularly in barbers, and at the umbilicus.

A pilonidal sinus is not lined by skin and there are no hairs growing within it. In fact, the hairs in the sinus are short, broken pieces of hair that either get sucked into a pre-existing dimple or actually pierce the normal skin in the gluteal cleft and then, by acting as foreign bodies, aid and support the development of chronic infection. The result is a chronic abscess which contains hair and which flares up at frequent intervals into an acute abscess.

Moles, warts, and skin labels are typical skin wounds that develop naturally. Though they're generally non dangerous, they can be uncomfortable if situated on a visible portion such as the face. Epidermis lesions like moles and warts cause self esteem problems to the sufferers. A person with moles normally turns into a loner since they don't desire to be noticed in public. They think embarrassed to be out in public areas, therefore despair will obviously follow but you will modify all of this with this guide from here https://tr.im/L0mh6 , Moles, Warts and Skin Tags Removal eBook.

Hemorrhoids are associated with constipation and straining at bowel movements. How to get rid of hemorrhoids https://tr.im/Xyxr6
Pregnancy is also associated with hemorrhoids. These conditions lead to increased pressure within the hemorrhoidal veins that causes them to swell. Other conditions, for example chronic liver disease, may also cause increased venous pressure and may be associated with hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are very common and are estimated to occur in up to one-half of the population by age 50.
