Noticed a bump on my anus

Hey guys,

So as of pretty recently I went to Planned Parenthood because I noticed some bumps on and around my penis which they believe to be genital warts. I had them treated then which was less than a week ago, however I’m unsure of how long I’ve had these. Anyways, so when I got home I decided to examine other areas just to see if they were at any other parts. I looked at my anus the best I could, and I must admit that I’ve had anal sex recently and have had it a few times in the past as well. So when expecting my anus I noticed a little bump and a few similar but much smaller bumps maybe like 3 more. There is some slightly abnormal(at least to me) skin around the main bump I noticed in which I will attach the pictures below. I’m going to be getting it checked as soon as I can but I currently don’t have health insurance or a job so affording a visit isn’t the easiest. So I figured I could atleast ask someone who might have some knowledge on my situation. I’ve done a ton of reading and tried to find ever possible but of info I could but words from someone else would be nice to. I did recently cut my anus as well from excissive wiping and probably tore it a little worse during anal sex. As far as symptoms go, which have only happened as of like the past week or two, sometimes my anus itches, and usually there is a yellow mucus slightly inside my anus. There’s no official discharge or anything like that. I haven’t noticed any bleeding except from the cut(s) but that’s only when I was kinda stretching my anus skin out to look at it. But that’s basically that. I suppose I should mention that I’m a 26 year old white male, Im active, 5’10 and weigh 146ibs. Anyone have any clue as to what this may be if anything?

Here are links to the photos,

My apologies for the links, doing this all by my cellphone right now. Appreciate any advice!!

    Hi Nathan. If you had anal sex recently that means you had a lot of pressure around your anus and that causes hemmoraids. If you're sore and the bumps are small they are most likely 'roids. If you are concerned than go to your doctor but I really wouldn't worry.
