What Is The Treatment For Hard Lumps On My Anus?
Question: Hello, I am a 39 year old asian lady. In the last year I have noticed 2 small lumps very close to my anus (see the two attached photos). Each lump is the size of a large grain of rice or a very small pea, and is a fleshy pink colour. I thought they would go away, but they have not changed. Recently, one seemed to change and felt harder. Please can you advise me what to do next. Thank you.
Brief Answer:
It is a Perianal Abscess
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have two small Perianal abscesses developed as a result of infection of the a Perianal Glands.
Please consult qualified General Surgeon they needs to be incised and drained under general anaesthesia.
In the mean while take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexine along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.that will help to fasten the healing after surgery.
Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions ,I shall be happy to help you
