Brief Answer:
It could be either Fistula in Anus or Perineal Abscess.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have a recurrent soft lump in perineal region since 2-3 years .

It is likely to be either Fistula in Anus or a recurrent perineal abscess.However it needs to get confirmed by clinical examination by a qualified General Surgeon and Radiological test called Fistulogram.

If confirmed you need to get it operated (Complete excision of fistulous tract).

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions ,I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
