What's wrong with my anus? Swollen/Purple. Should I go see GP?

Posted , 2 users are following.

I think I have a external hemorrhoid but I'm not entirely sure and I don't want to waste my doctor time if I get a consultation/judgement through a provided photo. Sorry for being so hairy or disgusting but need to know. I have been using anusol cream and its been easing the irritation/pain.
