Swollen legs?
go to the toilet. Is it something I need to be worried about?
ATHE most common causes of a lump at the anus are either a dilated vein (a haemorrhoid) or a small skin tag.
However even though it is not causing you any problems, no lump should ever be ignored, especially once you are 50 or over.
So please make an appointment and go to see your GP who can check that it is nothing serious.
