Pimple at down end of anus (hole)

---

Hi.. female, 23. Some time ago, i started having pain during bowel movements. It was bearable. After about a month, now it pains a lot. So much so, that now i even hate to go to washroom. I tried to touch n felt a pimple at the downwards end of the anal hole. Tried to see in mirror but couldnt. Afraid to visit doctor as he may want to see it n i dont wish to show. Tries vasaline petroleum gel ( as it is known to heel any skin problem), but no result. Pls advice something

It might be a hemorrhoid. There are creams for this (if it is indeed a hemorrhoid)

@afraida I would suggest seeing your doctor. If it only hurts when you go the the bathroom, it could be a fissure tear and they are quite painful. If it is just a hemorrhoid, you most likely would see some blood when going to the bathroom or wiping. If it just feels like a pimple, it could just be something simple like an ingrown hair. Its hard to say but I would strongly suggest seeking medical attention the sooner the better, just hoping it goes away isn't the best strategy...

Thanks for replying...
