What Causes Swollen Lump Near Anus?
Hi, I have been on antibiotics for a few weeks now to sort out a swollen lump which is below my skin as opposed to above. The lump I watold is a gland which is situated about and inch away from my anus. I was told that it might have to be operated on if it does not settle back down again. I should have asked my Gp at the time but forgot. If an operation is needed could I return back to work after a couple of days.
