I'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.
