I might have chlamydia or hemorrhoids because I've noticed a lump near my anus. There's also a cluster of acne-like bumps without any pus, almost like muscle growth. I'm really worried. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of hemorrhoids, which are swollen veins in the rectum and anus that can cause discomfort and a lump near the anus. To help with the symptoms, you can try using over-the-counter medications such as Preparation H (hydrocortisone) cream to reduce swelling and discomfort. It is important to keep the area clean and dry, and to avoid straining during bowel movements. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm dealing with a really painful rash on my scrotum that feels almost like it's turning into a wound. It's super uncomfortable and I'm not sure what to do. Can you help me figure out some remedies or advice on what steps I should take? I'm in a lot of pain and just need some guidance.

I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose cotton underwear, and avoiding any potential irritants can help with the healing process. If the rash does not improve or if you develop any other symptoms, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
