  5. Hey, I've been dealing with a painful lump right on the outside of my anus for three days now. It's super sore when I touch it, but oddly enough, I don't really notice it when I go to the bathroom or throughout the day. I've been using Proctosedyl Cream, but it hasn't helped so far. Any idea what could be going on or what I should try next?

You should consult a doctor, a general surgeon, for a proper evaluation and diagnosis, as the painful lump could be a thrombosed external hemorrhoid, an anal abscess, or another condition requiring medical attention, and they may prescribe a different treatment or perform a minor procedure to relieve your symptoms.
