Pain or pressure in the anal area: Feeling pain or discomfort may be a warning sign. The pain can be constant or intermittent, and may be accompanied by a feeling of a lump or pressure in the area.
Itching or skin changes around the anal area: Skin changes such as itching, hyperpigmentation, or blisters can be early signs. In many cases, these symptoms may be the result of less serious conditions such as fungal infection or eczema, but they should be examined carefully.
Lumps or swellings in the anal area: The presence of lumps may be the result of swollen glands or tumors. Some people can feel these lumps when touching the area or even without touching.
