Suggest Cure For A Boil In The Anal Area

Sir I travelled for 48 hours...been sitting. Because of sitting alot i had to force in the washroom to pass stools. I normally never have to force. I exercise regularly. I am completely fit. Never had constipation. When i finally arrived back home from that tiring long journey . The next day i felt a small bump like lump or a boil on the right side of my anal ring right outside anal opening. I checked in mirror. It had skin color. No pain at all. After 4 days i went to doctor. He gave me antibiotics i took for 2 weeks but still the boil is there and still no pain at all just an uncomfortable feeling of its presence.its smaller then a pea. Kindly guide me what to do about it. I am tavelling soon again in 4 days. But this time i changed the airline. Only 22 hours travel. Atleast.shorter then 48 hours. I am using an antibiotic cream on it. And i keep is clean.

Hello
According to your history of travel ,this bump around the anal ring is hemorrhoid ,not a boil ( because of undue force for stool ).
Since you develop this ,so next DON'T STRAIN at all ,usually straining ( force ) aggravate the condition.
For this the best way is take some phenophtaleine tablet for constipation during journey.
For this take some anovate type cream ( or nefidipine +local anesthetic cream ).
I don't advise any antibiotics to my patient .
In my opinion consult a physician and get a conservative treatment for hemorrhoids ( 2nd opinion ).
Good luck.
