I have what I think is an external possibly thrombosed haemorrhoid. It's a solid lump coming out of the side of my anus. It looks skin coloured but if I pull the skin tight it has a blue tinge to it. This is now week 3 going into 4.

It is less painful than it was but my question is, anyone who has suffered these does your actual "bum hole" feel irritated sometimes like a stinging/prickly sensation?

I have health anxiety and so worried about it being something worse than a pile. I have another doc appt on wednesday

    Hi, I think i have a similar thing for around 3 weeks or so. They are 2 small nodules (spots) one is smaller than the other one, grayish or flesh-coloured. Very hard when touching and it is under skin, no pain, no bleeding no discharge. It got itchy only 1 or two times when i used some cream as I thought it might be hemorioids . But generally it does not itch.

    Do you have similar symptoms? Did you find out what is it?

      Hello! Yes mine are also under the skin. It will be 4 weeks tomorrow. The lump itself is not painful unless I prod at it for minutes!,

      I went back to docs on Wednesday and has 2 docs look at it, they are adament it is a hemorrhoid. I have some steroid treatment so will have to see how that works. I hope you get yours to go!!
