Swelling in anus hole

"18 months ago, I had a smooth  swelling near my anus.( image attached) When touched, it felt smooth like a boiled bubble. About 6 months ago, it disappeared automatically on its own. Now, it has appeared again. What could be the reason for this, and what type of condition might it be? I do not have any other symptoms such as blood in stool, constipation, etc."

Itchy anal rash with pilonidal sinus

I have been diagnosed with a pilonidal sinus, and a general surgeon has examined me and recommended surgery. I also have red, itchy skin around the anal opening and the surrounding area. The itching is still present. I had previously used Castor MF occasionally, but I haven't been applying it recently, and the itching has continued. There is no bleeding or pain during bowel movements. Since I am going to have surgery for the pilonidal sinus, I would like to know: Could the redness and itching be a fungal infection or simple skin irritation? Is it safe to use a simple antifungal cream such as clotrimazole around the anal area, or should I use something else? Should I discuss this specifically with my surgeon before the surgery? Thank you.
