I recently had my fistula in ano heal about 15 days ago, but now there's a lump or bump inside my anus that hurts when I press hard. An ayurvedic doctor mentioned it might be from a fissure in ano surgery I had 5 years ago. Could this lump be related to that old surgery? What could be causing this pain now?

my dad noticed a painful lump near his anus and when we checked with a torch, there's a protruding lump on the side of the anus. it's making it hard for him to pass stool since it seems to be partially blocking the opening. could this lump be cancerous or is there a way to treat it without surgery?
It sounds like your dad may have an anal abscess or possibly an external hemorrhoid, both of which can cause a painful lump and difficulty passing stool. While cancer is less common, it’s important he gets a prompt evaluation by a doctor for an accurate diagnosis. Treatment often starts with conservative measures like warm sitz baths, pain relief, and stool softeners, but some cases may need minor procedures or surgery. Please advise him to see a healthcare professional soon.

I'm having this really painful issue with a boil, or what I think is a skin tag, near the entrance of my buttocks. Every time I go to the bathroom, it hurts quite a bit, and it's been going on for the past three days. I'm already taking some meds that my family doctor prescribed, but it doesn't seem to be getting better quickly. It's making it hard for me to sit or walk comfortably. The medicines Ive been on are Bactifix Ointment, Acemiz which is paracetamol with serratiopeptidase and aceclofenac, Onoff OZ which includes ofloxacin and ornidazole, and Rantac 150. Im a bit concerned and unsure if theres something else I should do, or if these meds take longer to work. Could it be something more serious, and should I be doing anything differently?
