Lump Near The Anus Seems To Be Increasing In Size, Extreme Pain, Oozes Continuously Heavy Pus And Blood Discharge. Help?
about 2 and a half months ago a lump formed about 2 to 3 inches away from my anus . its started out real small but then i grew bigger and painful. since then i have been rubbing some thing on it to reduce the swelling and the pain, the lump has gone done a little but the pain still lingers now and then. about 2 weeks ago i have realised that the lump has turn pink (mixed with puss and blood ) has thin skin and is able to burst, i kinda used a need and stick it but nothing really came out and it was too painfull for me to continue so i left it. about a week after i realised it was leaking and when i wipe it, alot of blood and puss keeps coming out. Help Please.

Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Your description is highly suggestive of infected pilondal sinus or anorectal fistula.
It is not possible to conclude without seeing.
You can not treat it yourself
You have to get the help of a general SURGEON.
Earlier, the better.
Else, it will rupture and may get complicated.
Take care
Wishing you speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
