What Causes Painful Red Spot Near Anus?

I have a very painful red spot. It hurts to sit lay or apply any pressure to it. There is a tiny scab to one side of it. I initially thought it was a bug bite. However, it's bigger than it was when I discovered it. It causes a deep burning ache if I shift position. I concerned is some kind of skin infection. My mother had the same thing on her face and I svelte this after she asked me to look at her bumps.

Hello
Red spots but you didn't mention the site , where , these are ?
If on the butt ,it may be staphylococcal infection as boils , frunculosis or pyoderma ( skin infection ).
Diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by a dermatologist .
When such cases visit I prescribe them to take althromycin 500 mg twice in day with acelcofenac 200 mg C R .
Both tablets two time in day for 5-7 days .
But if this red spot is just close to the anus may be hemorrhoid or fissure in anus ( as you mentioned that there is deep burning and excruciating pain so may be due to fissure in anus or hemorrhoids ).
Diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by a physician .
So deal as mentioned above .
This is a prescription medicine so consult your doctor .
Infection on the face may be contagious or not , it depend on type of infection.
Hope this will help you.
