I'm 17 and have an anal fistula diagnosed by a surgeon. My mom prefers homeopathic treatment, but I'm not sure it's working. She's against surgery what are my other options or signs I should look for to know if it's improving?

View allI've noticed a painful, swollen bump near my anus that feels like a pimple. It's really starting to bother me, especially when I press on it. Can you help me figure out what this might be and what I should do about it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a perianal abscess. I recommend you use an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to help prevent infection. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relief medication like ibuprofen to help with the pain and swelling. It is important to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm dealing with a bad case of piles for about a week now, and it hasn't improved. I'm not dealing with any other medical issues at the moment. What would you suggest I do next?
Leg Pain Due to Cold Air Exposure _Possible Causes_ 1. _Cold-induced vasospasm_: Exposure to cold air from fans or ACs can cause blood vessels in your legs to constrict, leading to pain. 2. _Muscle cramps_: Cold air can also cause muscle cramps, especially in the legs. 3. _Poor circulation_: Reduced blood flow to the legs can contribute to pain, especially in cold environments. _Self-Care Measures_ 1. _Avoid direct exposure_: Try to avoid sitting directly under fans or ACs. 2. _Dress warmly_: Wear warm clothing, especially on your legs, when in cold environments. 3. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water to maintain blood flow and circulation. 4. _Stretch and move_: Regularly stretch and move your legs to improve circulation. _When to Seek Medical Attention_ 1. _Severe pain_: If pain is unbearable or worsens over time. 2. _Persistent pain_: If pain persists or recurs frequently. 3. _Other symptoms_: If you experience numbness, tingling, or weakness in your legs
