Hey everyone! Okay, here with go with a tmi post. Haha. 

I think I have an external hemorrhoid, but I never have before so I wanted to get some input. I'd just go to my doctor but I am out of town for the next several weeks and really don't want to make a trip home if I don't absolutely have to. 

This started as a pain in my rectum; like a soreness. I tried sitz baths and a heating pad but it was still present off and on, especially during a bm. No blood in my stool or on the toilet paper but I did have intermittent itching, again mostly just when using the bathroom. 

I couldn't see that anything looked different until a couple days ago. I have a spot at the top of my rectum that has gotten swollen and with that the pain has gotten a little worse/more frequent. Still the same type of pain though. It's not a burning sensation and never was. The spot almost looks like a skin tag. It's flesh colored and just slightly more swollen than the rest of my rectum. It looks like part of my rectum, if that makes sense. Calmoseptine has been pretty helpful in alleviating the discomfort so far.

Does this sound like an external hemorrhoid--or like anything familiar--to anyone? Thanks in advance!
