I've been dealing with an anal fissure for a year now. At first, the pain wasn't too bad and didn't happen often, but over the last month, it's gotten really bad with constant pain and itching.

Question

I'm dealing with some really painful internal piles, especially during the monsoon season and when I sit on hard surfaces. I'm wondering if cipladine cream is safe and effective to use for this?

I'm having a lot of pain right at the edge of my anus and lower back, and it's making it really hard to sit or go to the bathroom. I've also noticed some swelling in that area, and it hurts more if I try to stretch the muscle. Can you help me figure out what might be going on and suggest who I should see about this?

Question

I've noticed a lump or bump that's been growing near my anus for a few months now, and it's starting to ooze a yellowish fluid. It's worrying me a bit, and I'm curious about what this could be. Could it be something serious, or is it possible for it to just go away on its own? What should I do next?
