There are a few possibilities including hemorrhoids but it can also be a perianal abscess. A consultation with a general surgeon would be helpful, and if it is severely painful, inflamed, and tender you may wish to go to an Urgent Care or ER.

This sounds like a hemmorhoid. This lumps often occur in patients who have been constipated frequently or in women who have had children or are pregnant. There is no substitute for a physical exam by an experienced doctor. With a good history and physical, a diagnosis could be made likely with no further testing. At the age of a 19 year old male, the likelihood of this being a serious medical issue is small, but I will still recommend having this lump examined. Good luck!

Hi young man.
This is likely nothing, HOWEVER, we must be careful. There are many things to consider- is it infected (hot, red, tender, pain, fever, chills, sick, etc.) or not? How long has it been there, and is it growing or changing?
My advice is to go in and see your private doctor to evaluate it and discuss with you what should be done. Don't be embarrassed about this, as it is a sensitive area, your doctor will treat you respectfully, and he is trained to help you with an issue you can't deal with yourself.

It depends of if it is tender or not. Tender masses usually suggest more benign pathology, such as hemorrhoids or perirectal abcess. Non-tender masses need to be checked out for possible malignant potential.
You should go to your doctor to have it checked out. As mentioned, It could be hemorrhoids, skin tags, or warts. In any case, it is likely not "serious" like cancer.
