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.

I've been dealing with an anal fistula for around 4 years and have only tried homeopathic treatment so far but it hasn't worked. Is homeopathy still an option for me or should I consider surgery at this point?
Given that your anal fistula has persisted for 4 years without improvement, it’s unlikely to heal with homeopathy alone. Chronic fistulas typically require surgical intervention for definitive treatment. I recommend consulting a colorectal surgeon to discuss your options.
