Cyst: Its probably a cyst. These often need to be surgically drained and then removed.

A member asked:

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?
