Hi,

Possible there could a fissure due to work out and sweating. Please keep the area dry and wear loose clothing's and you can apply Candid powder which is available as OTC. If symptoms are not improving then you may need a physical consultation.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,

The following may be few probable causes of your complaints:
1) Anal fissure or a crack at anal margin. It's a very painful condition.
2) Perianal abscess
3) Boil or furuncle
4) Infectious swelling
5) Hemorrhoids
6) Anal fistula

Thorough clinical examination and few investigations would help in arriving at a specific diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Please do consult a surgeon as soon as possible.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
