I have been panicking for a few days, I have this small bump over my anus, not sure how long its been there but its occupying all of my thoughts lately. Figured I should ask those who might know.

It is not painful or bleeding. Is just kind of there.

    You really need to see a GP to get a proper diagnosis.  If it is soft it could well be the start of haemorrhoids if hard then it may be an abscess. I had something similar when I was in the post treatment phase of bowel cancer.  In my case it turned out to be a abscess and a course of antibiotics dealt with it.  However, I am not a medical professional so you really do need to see a GP.
