Is this a hemmeroid?

Sorry for the tmi. For the past week or so I have had a sore visible rash around my bum, when I wipe it will sometimes bleed. It’s not itchy, but it’s very sore. It’s also sore when I go for number 2, and when I sit down. I’m not sure if it’s due to sometimes being constipated and straining/wiping too hard or if it’s an issue I need to go to the doctor about. I can see a visible purple kind of lump on the outside? Did some research and came across anal cancer now I’m freaking out but I’m sure it’s not that?

It sounds as though it is most likely an external haemorrhoid. Book a Drs appointment if you are worried, but first try some over the counter haemorrhoid cream like anusol and see if that helps.
