Is it dangerous to have a painful fleshy mass in the anal area?

Question
Hello doctor,
I am a 22 year old female. I want to ask that recently, my anal area has appeared a mass of residual flesh like a bruised hematoma. It can cause itching, pain and discomfort in the anal area. Doctor let me ask if there is a painful lump in the anal area, is it dangerous? Before, I gave birth to a baby, and there was a lump of flesh like that but it didn't hurt or anything. How should I treat? Thank you doctor.
