Hello,

You are suffering from a bump (pimple) on our buttock near the anus. It is painful and you hurt when you try to sit. You are suggested not to pop a pimple on the anus because it can lead to an infection. Do not squeeze, scratch, drain, or open the boil. Gently wash the area with soap and water twice a day. To help the bump / boil drain on its own, apply warm compress with the help of a soft cloth 3 or 4 times a day.

After cleaning you can apply benzoyl peroxide (Benzoyl) ointment to prevent infection. Get clinically examined, if it is an abscess surgical drainage will be required. If the bump you feel is sensitive or painful, it may be a hemorrhoid. Get it treated at the earliest. If neglected a blood clot can form, causing greater swelling and discomfort. Take sitz bath and Combiflam, once when required to reduce pain and swelling.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
