 I suggest seeing your doctor. If your doctor is male, you could always ask if you could see a female doctor, and it might make you feel slightly less embarassed. But there is nothing to be embarassed or ashamed about. Doctors are trained to handle anything.
I would say don't attempt to remove it or to do anything to it until you get it checked out.
Good luck xo.

 It sounds like it could be a skin tag.. they can be caused threw all sorts of things, hormone imbalance, low weight, straining for a poo.. lots really, this isnt anything to be worried about but it could also be piles.. which you can get treatment for. see your doctor. JD :)

 Sounds like Napoleon's greatest Nemesis...the dreaded Rhoid.
Until you see a doctor, I would suggest you take some hot baths, as that will cause the swelling to go down. Any type of bowel movement will usually inflame the situation, so also watch your diet.
Better get some Preparation H as well.
And NO HORSEBACK RIDING until you see a doctor!

You should see a dr a.s.a.p but until then you can buy over the counter stuff to see if the swelling will go down so you can at least be comfortable. My uncle use to soak in a hot tub to ease the pain and make him a little more comfortable you might also want to put some ebson salt in the hot water it will take the swelling down the dr can tell you ways to keep the swelling down so maybe it wont effect your life so much. Sorry babe

I'm not a Dr to say what it is, but the examination may be uncomfortable and better to go in it's early stages as uncomfortable may turn into painful. Different Dr surgeries have different charges. If it flares up in the weekend you will pay more for after hour services. Going to the toilet will become worse if you don't go. Dr's see all these sorts of things so don't be embarrassed. I'm not saying you are, but just in case. It's not a spread thing. It sounds like your diet. Or it could be stress. If it is a Haemaroid, go to the Dr quickly. These things left too late may cause further complications. The Dr would give you a little soft oval shaped tablet to put up your anus. And maybe antibiotics, so don't be scared, it's not surgery

Sorry if it's gross, but two things that are important in making it go away. 1. Eat lots of fiber. Very important. And 2. don't "hold it" if you have to go. That's actually the main cause of the things. Good luck...

 It sounds like piles. It is in your best interest to get it seen by a doctor. I know it is embarassing but doctors have to look at all sorts of things throughout the day so do not feel embarassed. If it is piles it can be pushed back.
Do not attemp anything without professional advice.
