Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you are mostly having either infected boil or infected sebaceous cyst.
Anal area is full of hair and it is having a lot of moisture through sweating and all.
So possibility of skin infection is high if proper hygiene is not followed.
So better to consult doctor and get done clinical examination of swelling.
Since it is whitish in colour, possibility of pus is more. So you may need aspiration of pus and antibiotic treatment with surgical dressing.
For all these, better to consult doctor.
Also avoid too much moisture and keep proper hygiene of anal region.
I find this answer helpful
