It is characterized by smooth surface and clear boundary, and may be accompanied by redness, swelling and pain when secondary infection occurs.

2. Lipoma or fibroma: benign tumors occurring in the buttocks, mostly asymptomatic in the early stage, with the increase of volume, may appear compression symptoms, pain and other manifestations.

3. Perianal abscess: the abscess is formed due to the infection of anal gland blockage, and the texture is relatively hard when the abscess is immature. The specific location of the abscess is different, and the performance is also different.
