What's the color of this lump?
Is it located at your anal opening?
Do you have problems with your bowel movements?

Try to see if sitting in a warm bathtub several times a day for 15-20 minutes, will relief your pain.

First of all, Thank you for replying to my post.
It is the same color of my skin on that area. its more like a blister in size and in form. The pain is continuous 24/7. It is located near my anal opening...more less 1cm from it..no eye like what you see from boils. Im only having problems with my bowel movement when i sit at the toilet seat and when control the muscle to push the feces out. Ive tried Doing the hotsitz bath...but i get only minimal relief, after a few minutes the excruciating pain comes back again. Been sleeping only for 3-4 hours per day with the help of over the counter painkillers. I wish you could give some idea on this. I have a doctors appointment on monday and im planning to have it surgically removed. because i cant take it much longer.

Ive researched and checked out some forums...is this some kind of blood blister? Will Numbing ointments help relieve some the pain?

I finally got rid of the hell raising pain. I had my surgery yesterday, it was rectal abcess as what the doctor said. I just have to endure with the post op pain then im back to normal life again. Thank you again for your reply to my post.

You are welcome!
Sorry I didn't check the topic earlier.
I'm glad you got your problem fixed.

Do you have some inflammatory intestinal disease or diabetes?

No i dont have either of both...Do you have any info on the causes of rectal abscess and how to prevent it. I dont want it back in my life again...LOL

Most cases of perianal abscesses (abscesses close to anal opening) are sporadic, though there are certain situations which elevate the risk for developing the disease, the ones I already mentioned, diabetes, Crohn's disease, steroid use that suppress the immune system.
Timely and appropriate treatment is most important to avoid relapses and complications.
Try to avoid constipation, use gentle techniques to clean the anal area, wash the anal area after every bowel movement, and keep the area dry.

hi,

i have similar pain, but i looked at the symptoms and i don't think it is an abscess, it is red and very sore. Is there anything I can do to reduce the pain and get rid of the lump/spot.

alfie0000,
Maybe I'm late 'gettin' to ya....but what you may have had is a 'pilonidal sinus' problem. I had a very sore swelling...that got worse over a short period. It was located at upper left cheek....about 2 inches from the 'opening'. My white-cell blood count was 'through-the roof' when I presented to the A E...and my buttock was swollen rock-hard also....very painful!
They operated and excised (dug-out) and drained the area....and I had to have the 'hole' plugged and cleaned regularly for a few weeks after. Not a pleasant experience...but necessary...especially when it 'balloons-up'...as the poison could go into your system. If it is pilonidal -sinus prob you have/had...it may or may not recur....the main thing post procedure...is to keep the area ultra clean. I personally clean it with 'betadine' every day....and cover area with a med-patch. 'Betadine' may come under many names....but it's similar to the 'wash' that surgeons may use...prior to ops.
Sorry again for delay...hope it works out for you....remember...any swelling like that is your body telling you to go to doc/A E quickly. Good luck!
