Red, Itchy Bumps On Top Of Anus, Bleeding, Urge To Urinate. Using Vaseline. Treatment?

I have a cluster of red, itchy bumps at the top of the butt crack (not above it). Thought pilonidal cyst but that is above it. I rub when itchy and they bleed and then I have the urge to urinate. Whenever I rub it, in the shower, I have to urinate. How could this be connected? I put on vaseline, nothing helps. Should I see doc or gynecologist?

Hi,
After reading your history it appears that you might have developed secondary infection over the anal area. The anal area is very prone for getting secondary infection. I advise you to not pinch or pop the area. You can apply an antibiotic cream such as gentamycin cream. Antibiotic tablet s are must such as ciprofloxacin and metronidazole under medical advise. If itching is present then can take benadryl accordingly. Consult your Gynecologist for checking the exact cause. Do not apply vaseline as it can further infect the area.
