I've cut myself on my stomach with a compass and now it's been about 5 or 6 days, but the pain just keeps getting worse. I don't want to tell anyone 'cause I'm the one who did it. Is there anything I can do to make the pain less intense, and do you know how long it'll take for the scars to go away?

I noticed a black bump in my butt about a week ago and it's still there. Is this something that can go away on its own or do I need to see a doctor? It doesn't hurt much but the color worries me. Can it be treated without surgery?

It could be a thrombosed external hemorrhoid or cyst. If painless, warm compresses and observation help. See a doctor if it persists or changes.
