Question: Hello. Few weeks ago i had a problem of very hard stool for a week. at that time I had trouble passing stool. since then my stool become normal but I have sometimes ithcing and buring in my anus. And also I started noticing that sometimes pus is coming out of my anus or I see pus nera my anus when I use a toilet paper.
Also I can see that there is a pimple like growth near my anal entry. It is small but I feel pus is also coming out from there.

Brief Answer:
Anal fissure and folliculitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
The itching and burning pain in the anus could probably be due to anal fissure.High fiber diet, stool softeners, plenty of fluids, topical lignocaine and sitz bath would provide relief.
The pus is coming from the 'pimple' like thing and as your doctor said it is due to folliculitis only.
The pus has to be drained for complete relief.
Complete the course of antibiotics.
I hope that answers your query.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
