I had a boil on my hip line a few months back, and it had to be surgically cut to drain the pus. I'm starting to feel that same kind of pain again, but theres no actual boil yet. Is there any way to stop it from forming into a full-on boil this time?

I'm having this weird issue where I feel pain in my anus after ejaculation, and it's starting to worry me. Could someone explain what might be causing this? Also, who would be the right specialist to consult about this?
I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to help prevent infection and promote healing. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any pain or discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the boil does not improve or gets worse, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I've recently noticed that I've got this scar on my buttocks that's turned into a round shape. It's been super itchy, especially at night, and I've also seen white flakes of skin peeling off. The skin's also got darker, and the whole area seems to be growing. I've tried using itch guard and onabet, but things aren't getting better. What might be causing this, and what should I do next?
use antibiotics
