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?

I recently noticed this hard lump around my rectum, and its got me really worried. I've heard about Anovate hemorroid cream and was wondering how effective it is in dealing with this kind of issue? Also, how should I use it to get the best results? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Question

I'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?
