Hi.
As per your complains it seems you have boils or furuncle on peri-anal region.
Donot use hydrocortisone cream, it is mild steroid and will not cure your condition and there will be recureence.
U can use Fusidic acid cream (fusiderm)- a good antibiotic cream twice daily on affected part for 7-10 days. It condition doesnot subside than u can consult a dermatologist as it may need oral antibiotics and analgesics
Thanks
