Hello
I share your concern
Looking at your description this might be hemorrhoid or infected anal gland.
Since you are in a remote area so I would advise you to follow these guidelines
Try to avoid constipation by taking laxatives or stool softeners like liquid paraffin or lactulose.
Have lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and dietary fiber supplements
You can apply anaesthetic ointment like lignocaine for instant pain relief
You should take sitz bath by sitting in a tub filled with hot water and add more hot water slowly.do it twice a day.

Please write back to me if you have any more queries I will be happy to help you
Best wishes
