Brief Answer:
Consult a General Surgeon at the earliest.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam.

I understand your concern.

I have gone through your uploaded image.

This could be an anal gland abscess or an infected internal haemorrhoid.

This distinction can be made with accuracy through a PER RECTAL examination under the guidance of an expert surgeon.

Meanwhile antibiotics like FLagyl 500 mg twice a day for 14 days will help to control the infection if any.

Please note this drug should be taken only under the strict medical supervision.

Thank you.
