View allI'm dealing with a small pimple or boil right at the opening of my anus, and it's making it hard to pass motion, especially when I'm constipated. I also notice that eating spicy food sometimes causes pain during bowel movements. Can you advise me on which type of doctor I should see about this?
You may be experiencing a condition known as an anal abscess or a hemorrhoid. To help with the pain and discomfort, you can try using over-the-counter stool softeners like Colace (docusate sodium) to ease bowel movements. You can also apply over-the-counter hemorrhoid cream like Preparation H to the affected area to reduce inflammation. However, it is important to consult a surgeon for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm noticing that near the opening of my anus, there's this extra piece of skin hanging out, kind of like a small bulb. It's not painful, but it's really noticeable and seems larger than a small piece of skin should be. I'm a bit worried about what this could be and wondering if it's something I should be concerned about. Can you provide any insights on what this might be and if I should have it checked out?

I've had piles without bleeding for 5 years but developed a fistula problem in the last three months. There's also a lump formed with my piles now. The fistula keeps leaking pus - can this heal without surgery?
Anal fistulas, once they develop, generally require surgical intervention for a definitive cure, according to the NHS. While in rare cases, fistulas might close up on their own, they often recur if left untreated, leading to infections and abscesses. Your situation, with a newly developed fistula and pus discharge, strongly suggests a need for surgical treatment, as fistulas rarely heal spontaneously
