What Causes Painful Lump That Is Located Near To Opening Of Anus But Externally?

Hello. I have this lump on my anus. It is near the opening but is located externally. At my first look, it looked like a fluid filled lump then it had a dark spot in the middle. What is this? It s been hurting for 3 days already and on the 2nd day until now, it is bleeding. Please help me.

Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

It is an infected pile (Hemorrhoid).

Take a course of an oral antibiotic (for infection); use anti-hemorrhoidal ointment/jelly inside the anus as well as, over the pile thrice daily; a laxative to soften the stools; and hot compresses (by sitting in a tub of warm water for 15 minutes). This will improve the acute condition.

To prevent re-infection, take a regular high fiber diet; plenty of water daily and avoid constipation.

Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me and prescribe the advised treatment in appropriate doses.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
