Mkay. I am mega MEGA embarrassed posting this, but I know you girls are lovely and will not laugh! (I hope!! ) Be warned, this could be a bit too descriptive and TMI for some.

For pretty much all of my adult life (so let's say since 13) I can remember having what I can only describe as a skin tag above my anus Probably about half the size of a pinky fingernail. It has just felt like a small fleshy sack. I have much smaller skin tags elsewhere, a tiny one above my left eye and a slightly larger one on my underarm. The one above my bum has never done anything except be there, never been sore, and always empty.

For the last 4 or so days, it has felt very sore, at first just with wiping, but now also with walking and sitting too. I got DF to look at it today, and it is reddish instead of flesh coloured and is bigger, about a 20 cent piece! And when I feel it with my fingers, there are hard lumps inside it, that I can move around It is really sore, on fact my whole anus area feels sore, inside and out.

What is it??? Or rather, what has it become? Wth are the hard things inside? I have felt more pressure downstairs lately because of being pregnant. Has or become a hemoroid (sp?) I've never had one before, I'm not sure what's going on? Should I call the hospital?

Eeek soooo embarrassed right now
