Hey guest, how are you doing?
Well, a small lump could be of a number of things e.g. hemorroids, an abscess, or hernia. My best guess is maybe an abcess to start.
The characteristics of other disease are far more revealing. If this is either one of the above listed, then you should see a doctor anyway, even if the bump goes away. Just as hemorroids, they should not be self treated, the ointment could allow for the bump to go away, but the overall infection could still exsit. The bump will only reappear.
An abscess would be simular to an abscess in a tooth, if you have seen one, it hurts when it is touched and may even give a discharge of puss and blood. So careful not to attempt to bust it.
