the extent that it is very painful to take
a dump.
I am just embarresed to go to a doctor and
would like to know if there are any
ointments that can cure this..
Could this be a pointer to a bigger
problem that i need to see a doctor.

it's called a Perirectal abcess and very
common in men. Usually the cause of an
ingrown hair that has become infected.
you'll need to placed on antibitoics and
possibly get it drained. If left
untreated you can become very sick and
need extensive surgery. Don't mess around!
get it taken care of. I won't tell you of
the horror stories I've seen in the
Operating Room of these things left to
long.

I would strongly recommend that you go to
a doctor, and forget about the
embarrassment. I had the same symptoms
and was also embarrassed. I finally gave
in and went last week, had a colonoscopy
and have been diagnosed with anal cancer.
It's very treatable, but it will not be a
good experience, and if you do leave it
alone and don't tend to it, you could risk
it causing more harm. Please, please,
please put your pride aside and see a
physician. Don't take anyone else's word
about this being an infected hair or any
other sort of issue. Find out for sure,
for your own well being and own peace of
mind and health.

Actually i do have a lot of hair and i
guess this causes hygien problems as i end

day..

I am so glad that this has worked out well
for you - I'm sure the peace of mind from
knowing it is something relatively minor
was worth going. I know how you felt,
though - even though medical personnel
don't get embarrased by this stuff, and
they've seen much, much worse, it is still
kind of hard to go and talk to total
strangers about some of this. But it is
better to be sure than end up with
something that gets out of hand. Good
deal, Dude!!!!
