Hi all,
I also had a "lump" post op but this went down rapidly after surgery (maybe 2/3 weeks later)It also seemed to "swell" after the pressure of a BM. It reduced in size but still remains (but much smaller) It's not painful and unfortunately, I think a skin tag that appeared after surgery and I think it will be there to stay (it doesn't give any grief though just looks a little unsightly!)
Another thought however is that you have developed a thrombosed pile following your op. I also had this, a tiny purple lump which got a little larger, which itched and was painful. A couple of days of anusol soon shrank it again though!
Chronic Fissure diagnosed December 2011
Healed by Diltiazem around Feb 2013
Anal Fistula followed burst abscess in June 2012
2 internal troublesome piles remain & suspected, but undiagnosed, ongoing Levator Ani type symptoms & flare-ups
