What Does A Painful Boil Near The Anus Indicate?
Hi, I have a painful boil near anus. I feel to open the anus always and makes me difficult to sit in such posture for a long time. Also I observed a small lump projected out which is not painful , might be it is there a long time back as per my view. Pls let me know if I can go for any home remedy and see doctor.

Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!
It can be a foliculitis. I suggest you to:
1) Apply warm compresses and soak the boil in warm water. This will decrease the pain and help draw the pus to the surface.
2) Wash it with an antibacterial soap until all the pus is gone and clean with rubbing alcohol.
3) Do not pop the boil.
Hope that clarifies your question. Thank you for the question.
Take care
