A painful bump near the anus that reduces in size over time commonly points to a few specific conditions related to the local blood vessels, skin, or underlying tissues.
Possible Causes:--
1. Thrombosed External Hemorrhoid.
2. Perianal Abscess.
3. Anal Fissure with a Sentinel Tag:
4. Folliculitis or Furuncle (Boil).
You can use these conservative measures to find relief while monitoring the area:---
1. Sitz Baths:
2. Avoid Pressure and Straining.
3. Avoid poking, pressing, or trying to squeeze the bump.
4. A plain protective ointment like Lignocaine ointment can reduce pain.
