General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having formed anal abscess mostly due to ingrown hair follicle infection.
If this problem is for long time then there might be having chance of Fistula in ano.
Consult surgeon if not healed within few days.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 5 days.
Clean the part and apply antibiotic cream locally.
Ok and take care.
