An external hemorrhoid is a swollen blood vessel in the anal area. It can be tender, swollen, and may have a bluish - purple (violaceous) appearance due to blood pooling. A benign nevus is a mole, usually not in the anal region with these symptoms. A skin tag is a small, soft growth, not typically tender and violaceous. Anal cancer may have other symptoms like bleeding, change in bowel habits, etc., not just the described local appearance. Anal warts are usually cauliflower - like growths, not violaceous and tender in this way.
