I have a swollen red painful bump in my butt. Kindly help.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
A week ago I woke up with a very bad pain in my butt. I have a swollen red painful bump. I think I have hemorrhoid based on reading online symptoms. I tried preparation H cream and supposters, tuck pads, Cortisone cream, Aloe Vera gel but the pain did not go away. I cannot even pee. It is hard. Please help me.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It looks like an evolving perianal abscess than hemorrhoid (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You need to get clinically examined by a nearby surgeon to assess if it needs drainage. An ultrasound scan of perineum will help to rule out the underlying abscess. You need to start broad-spectrum antibiotics. Stop Cortisone cream. Also get your blood tests done including fasting blood sugar. Get examined by a nearby surgeon as soon as possible.
