I have an external Hemorrhoid

About 4 weeks ago I had a rough BM and after I finished I thought I had to keep going so I kept pushing but nothing came out. for a few days my anus felt a bit sore then a day later I noticed this bump on the outside of my anus like literally right on the outside, it is as big as the tip of my finger. it doesn't hurt, doesn't cause any pain but does itch a little time to time not much.,There is some pressure. Like someone is sticking the tip of their finger in my anus opening. 

I dunno if it will go away on its own how long it'll stay etc. I have had two Bm's since I had it and both have been gentle ones and soft so no pressure was pushed on it. How long until this thing goes away on its own?

I have had this thing for about a 2 weeks now, and if I stick my finger inside I can feel the swollen vein going along to it and inside up to about an inch in is where the swelling of the vein stops.

 as of 5 days ago there is no pain now, no itching, no nothing. sometimes I don't even know it is there till I have a bm or I shower. but the size hasn't gone down at all and hasn't changed. it is still as big as the tip of my pinky finger. There isn't even pressure from it anymore.

    My advice: Get a foot stool to put your feet up on when you go to the loo. It puts you in a more natural position and helps to cure piles and prevent further problems. You can buy cheap on internet. I can’t recommend them highly enough. A real life changer. X
