Unbearable pimple of some sort in the anal area

by martinsaleh, Sep 27, 2008 02:54AM
Since last week, I noticed a small growth, like a pimple in my anus opening. Over time, this has grown into a pea sized pimple of some sort. It stings when I touch it, and is white at the tip and the rest is grayish. It gets very irritating when I have bowel movements. Will this thing be gone soon? Should I urgently see a doctor about it or get medication for it? I'm an 18 y.o male.

Hi

Some of the causes for swelling near/in the anal opening can be:

• Infections (due to a lot of sweat glands in the area)
• Anal fissures
• Warts
• Hemorrhoids
• Tumors

You should consult your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Take care and write in if you need more information.
