Its been a couple of days since I've noticed something like a pimple near my anus. It really hurts when I sit, and I figured it might be a pimple because theres some swelling. Do you think it could be something else, and what should I do about the pain? Any advice would be really helpful.

Question

I've been dealing with a tough perianal abscess situation and had surgery twice for it already. I'm really worried it might come back. Are there any precautions I can take to stop it from recurring? My job involves sitting for nearly 10 hours daily, and although I loved eating non-veg food, I cut it out after my last surgery. I'm a 32-year-old guy. Any advice on what I should do or avoid?
