When an anal lump is a hemorrhoid vs an abscess — symptoms, urgency, and treatment differences.
Key Difference
Abscesses cause fever, severe throbbing pain, and pus; hemorrhoids rarely cause fever and do not produce pus.
Hemorrhoids
Swollen veins in the rectal area. Common, treatable, never cancerous.

A different condition requiring different treatment.
