What is the small blister covering anus that makes it painful while passing stool?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am 20 years old, and since a couple of days, I am having difficulty passing stools as there is a subtle pain and when I checked there is a pea-sized, skin colored blister covering the anus. It is not that painful but there is a subtle pain. I do have constipation problems and I do take over-the-counter medications for constipation. Please tell me how to get rid of it or treat it as I am worried about what it can be.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen the image (attachment removed to protect patient identity). This looks just like hemorrhoid typically that occurs with constipation and goes away on its own. The solution is to avoid constipation by drinking more than enough water and taking fiber-rich foods like raw leafy vegetables and green fruits. Also, avoid meats and non-vegetarian items currently as they aggravate this issue. You may continue the laxative that you are taking as well till your constipation is better but not more than two weeks. Take care and get well soon.
