I have a hard bump that drains near anus, should i be concerned?

This sounds: Like an abscess and or a fistula and if the drainage has been going on for a while with intermittent flares, probably a fistula and needs to get repaired. See a colon and rectal surgeon for diagnosis and treatment options.
