I have a small boil on my anal opening
I have a small boil on my anal opening, I have no pain are any problem passing my poop . I see no blood on my poop . I have taken antibiotics for 3 days , What should I do next?
Consider consulting surgeon to rule out it an abscess, which is very common in anal canal
Abscess features will be like
Pain
Fever
Unable to sit
As u have used antibiotics, whether it is resolved or not ,must consult a surgeon.
If abscess chances of fistula formation is there in the near future
If there is no abscess, congratulations and be happy... just say hi and bye to d surgeon
Have a good day!!!

Okay..For how long do you have it ? Is surrounding area redness present/pain on touching it ?
Is there any discharge or itching ?
Which antibiotics were taken ?
Next Steps
you can take a picture of swelling and share with surgeon if physically not present for examination. surgeon will decide whether to continue medications or not.
Health Tips
need further analysis.. if it's simple boil needs no further management but sometimes there is underlying sinus/fistula which later on may have issues.
