Heterosexual, Had Instances Of Several Abscesses In Anal Area, Hair Growth On Anal, White Headed Bumps During Bouts Of Stress. Thoughts?

During times of stress I ve had issues with my backside. At one point I developed several abscess in my anal area and am somewhat prone to fissures. A while back the hair seemed to grow back there like you wouldn t believe. I actually had to shave to be able to clean down there a few times. Recently the hair is gone but I ve developed what appear to be tiny white headed bumps, almost like a small rash. I thought they were a reaction to aggressive wiping after an unusually messy bowel movement . They didn t seem to change in size or multiply. This morning I tried neosporin and they did seem to reduce in size. When looking in the mirror they are small and white, almost like a pimple without the redness. I have a Dr. Appt. scheduled this week. As a side note I am heterosexual and always practice safe sex , nothing goes near my anal area. Thoughts?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

Possible bacterial infection through perspiration or hair growth with or without pilonidal sinus issue.

Consultation with the surgeon will reveal more thorough details for the precise diagnosis and further care in this regard as the need of antibiotic prophylactic antifungal, antihistamine, anti-inflammatory medicines will play a pivotal role in this regards.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
