<human>: Ive got this boil or lump in my anus that doesnt hurt but its as big as a nut...am really scared because Im also experiencing aches in my joints and I have a strange but recurring cold since I noticed this bump...I really want to be sure about whats wrong with me.
<bot>: Hi, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Well, if I were your family physician and had you presented this painless anal lump, I would consider following possibilities:1. A rara-rectal cyst2. An internal piles3. A rectal polyp4. A skin tag / papilloma5. A tumor even could be malignancy! And, the joint-aches or cold has nothing to do with the lump; they are separate issues...therefore you need to get to your doctor for a simple per-rectal examination and relevant tests like photocopy, stool examination, etc. if necessary! ... Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
