It’s been three weeks since I started this thread—I've been using cold water after every bathroom trip to help out—but I can still feel this weird lump. I honestly can't tell if it's just hemorrhoids or something else... Now I'm terrified of using a razor because, I don't know, what if I accidentally cut myself? I'm still stuck wondering which one it is and what my next move should be.

Since it's so close to the opening, trying to use a razor feels pretty risky... I was wondering how you guys managed to deal with yours.

I also cut out all the dry snacks, started drinking way more water, and I've been staying active—running and cycling—but so far, nothing has changed.

I’ve been feeling this little lump near my anus for quite a while now—didn't think much of it at first—until recently when I noticed a tiny red streak on the toilet paper after wiping... looked like blood.

I heard that could be a sign of hemorrhoids, so I'm wondering what else to look out for?? It doesn't actually hurt or itch, which makes me unsure if it's really hemorrhoids or something else. This has happened a few times now... sometimes it just goes away, other times it feels like a little skin tag that I just want to shave off. But back then, there wasn't any blood—just a tiny bit, a small line on the paper, maybe it wasn't even blood—so now I'm honestly not sure what the move is.
