Suggest Treatment For Lump On My Anus
I have a small lump on te outer part of my anus, it hurts a little. It feels almost like a pimple. How can I make it go away, and why did I get that? It's very unusual to me, I never had something like that before. It hurts when I clean myself after going to the bathroom.

Hi,
Thanks your question.
After going through your question, I can understand your concern.
There is most likely a boil / folliculitis over perianal region, which is a infection of hair follicles.
It may be due to excessive sweating.
If there is family history of Diabetes or you are obese, better to check your blood sugar levels.
Use some anti-inflammatory medicine, if swelling increases in size or there is fever there may be need for antibiotic.
Hope this helps you, if so do vote as helpful.
