Does all pimple near anus are fistula?
From past 5 days i have been witnessing small pimple type lump just 0.5 cm away from anus. It doesn't seem pimple, its just very small lump. It is not discharging. There is no puss, no blood, no pain, no swelling. When i smoothly hover my hand over it then i get little sharp pain but when i press it, it doesn't hurt at all. It is neither increasing nor decreasing. I have no issues in walking, running or exercising.
My question is, DO ALL THE PIMPLE TYPE THINGS NEAR ANUS ARE FISTULA?
How long should i wait to get it resolved by itself?
