Hi thanks for asking question.
Most probably it will be boil or anal abscess due to friction over anal area.
First try antibiotic course for few days.Amoxycillin can be taken.
During bathing use warm water.
Avoid straining while defecation.
Stool softener can be used if difficulty in defecation.Drink more water with fruit juices.
If still it is big enough and not resolving then incision and drainage has to be done with regular dressing.
So on preliminary approach it would be boil and treat it as infetion.
If still no benefit then other possibility has to sought like piles.
I hope my suggestion will help you.
