I'm a bit worried because I've got this painful lump on the left side of my anus. There's no redness or anything visible on the skin, but it's definitely there and it's been about a week now. It hurts when I sit, walk, or touch it. I'm not sure who to see about thisshould I consult a gynecologist, a physician, or maybe a gastric specialist? What do you think?

You may be experiencing a perianal abscess. I recommend you to see a physician for further evaluation and treatment. You may be prescribed antibiotics such as Augmentin 625mg to help with the infection. In some cases, surgical drainage may be necessary to treat the abscess effectively. It is important to seek medical attention promptly to prevent any complications.
