Folliculitis: It sounds like you may have an infected hair follicle which can initially appear like a pimple. Sometimes this may turn into a furuncle or abscess. Place a warm cloth on the area - this will help with blood flow and healing. If the lesion gets bigger or you have fever see a doctor as you may need antibiotics.

On the exterior part of my anus, there is a small bump that looks like a pimple. Touching it hurts, yet it's soft and feels like it's full with blood/pus. Could this be an infected hair follicle? Should I add Neosporin, pop it, or leave it alone?
