A member asked:
I have a small bump on the skin near my anus opening, on the outside. it's tender to touch & the skin covering it seems thin. it grew in one day. might it be a simple bump that will go away on its own, or an abcess that will require draining?

What is described may represent a Herpes I or II viral ulcer. See your GYN physician for an exam and blood test for Herpes IgM/IgG antibodies to be certain.
