Q: Hole In Anus? Didnt Know Where to Put Post

Hi this may seem like a strange one, but I have a small hole in the bottom of my anus... It doesnt seem to hurt that much, but when I go to the loo and wipe it is painful...

I have read about pilonidal cyst but they seem to be around the top of the bottom area, whereas this is actually on my anus...

Any ideas...? Im worried it could be something nasty

A pilonidal cyst will usually occur higher up and/or closer to the backbone. They are a CONTANT pain. Yours sounds more like a fistula. A hole that goes all the way through the rectum. You should seek medical attention right away
