What Does A Small Pimple Near The Anus Indicate?
Hi, I've just noticed in the past day or two that I have a small pimple like growth that bleeds to the touch it is near my anus, but not on it. I know I have shaved recently and am not sure if it's just an irritated shaving nic or what, and it doesn't irritate me unless whipping. Female, 21

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
A pimple like growth could be a furuncle, skin tag, molluscum, wart anything. As you have shaved recently, chances are it could be a furuncle or a boil. Just apply an antibiotic cream over affected area twice in a day. if its a boil, it should resolve in few days. So if no improvement is seen or the lesion seems to grow, please consult a doctor nearby.
Take care
