“Bump by anus?”
I have a bump by the anus. It looks big at entry. Not itchy. Think it may be a skin tag. I had a herpes outbreak but never like this at all. I had a c-section 6 months ago and have been exercising.

Possible Causes:
Skin tag – A small, soft extra piece of skin.
Hemorrhoid – A swollen vein from pregnancy, exercise, or straining.
Cyst or abscess – A lump that might need treatment if it grows or hurts.
Something else – Since you had herpes before, it’s good to check with a doctor.
What You Can Do:
Keep the area clean and dry.
Avoid straining when using the toilet.
Take warm sitz baths (sit in warm water) to help if it’s swollen.
Watch for changes – If it gets bigger, bleeds, or hurts, see a doctor.
Since you had herpes before, it’s best to see a doctor to be sure. If you need expert care, Irvine Skin can help. Call us or visit Irvine Skin for a check-up.
