I recently discovered a small lump right next to my anus opening. it's
uncomfortable and sore, yet not really itchy or terribly painful at
the moment. i've just noticed it there for about a week now. i haven't
had any troubles going to the bathroom...in fact it seems i'm going
quite a lot now that it hurts to wipe! i'm thinking this is a
haemmorrhoid but i have no idea. i've never had them before. What do
they look like?

Now that's redundant. The anus is an opening.

It might be you need to wipe better, and have a bit feces stuck there.
It sounds like you may have anal cyst (a collection of fluid).

And instead of calling your doctor of medicine, you decided to contact a
different MD, doctor of motors.

Why don't you ask your doctor? That is what they get paid for. Asking a
bunch of mechanics what a hemorrhoid looks like or for medical advice
isn't the best move.

See your doctor!

If I were you I'd burn it off with a cigarette.

Oh, wait. It might be what little you have left of a brain.
