Is pain during bowel movement indicate something serious?

Question

Hi doctor,

For about a month or so, I have been dealing with what I thought was hemorrhoids. I have used preparation H suppositories and some cream and they seem to help some. The pain starts after or during a bowel movement and there is blood on the toilet paper almost every time I wipe.

Today, I decided to take a picture of it because it has not gotten any better and I am really scared it is something worse than hemorrhoids. Also, the irritated skin around my anus has some white spots.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It looks like skin growth outside the anus and not hemorrhoids (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Do consult your nearby surgeon as early as possible and do whatever required. You may need a biopsy of the lesion for diagnosis. You may also need a colonoscopy, some blood tests, x-rays and even CT scan to some extent. Do not be afraid. You have to consult immediately; that is true even if it turns to be normal.

I am hoping that the above information was helpful for you.

If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me.

Thank you.
