Nervous, is this cancer? PIC

Posted , 4 users are following.

So ive been dealing with hemorhhoids on and off for years, but the last few days ive noticed worse swelling, red dark spots (but no bleeding), but more concerning is on each of the 3 sides there are tiny little white bumps on the tip of the hemorrhoids. They almost look like pimples. I will say that over the last 3 months I have seen 3 different colorectal surgeons , had 2 anoscopys, and 1 high resolution anoscopy, all of which they said they didnt see anything. Those were all 6 plus weeks ago and am just now noticing these white bumps. I have an appointment tuesday with my colorectal surgeon but am nervous, has anyone has little white bumps like these? I know a high resolution anoscopy can see precancerous cell changes in Squamous cell carcinomas but is it possible that this is an adenocarcinoma and they missed it? Very nervous. I also had a colonoscopy done 3 months ago and is all clear. Also no bleeding which is unique for hemorrhoids. Please help.

    Anal papillae , usually found located on internal hemorrhoids

    The more you strain the worse both can get. Also constipation will make the papillae inflamed and worse

    doubt. looks like pimples. esp since u had tests done so recently. i though i had but i was bleeding. did a colonoscopy where they also biopsied different parts if intestine. was just the hemorrhoids after all that. give it some time n maybe test again if it persists. but i wouldn't worry.
