A member asked:
I have a small red bump on my inner buttocks close to my anus. it is soft and when i squish it, it feels like loose skin. there is no pain. what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bump/anus: The two most likely possibilities are a small thrombosed external hemorrhoid, a small focal area of folliculitis (infected skin gland) or a small perianal abscess. A thrombosed external, l hemorrhoid resolves on its own. Folliculitis will go away with clensing and antibiotics . A perianal abscess may require just antibiotics but also may require antibiotics. See your doctor he can tell.
