I've been dealing with this really uncomfortable pain and burning sensation in my anus for the last couple of months. At first, there was some blood too, so I thought it might just be a small cut or something and I tried using Boroline on it. The bleeding stopped, which is good, but the pain and burning are still there, mostly when I'm using the toilet. Could you please give me some advice on how to make this go away?

It sounds like you might be dealing with an anal fissure, which is common and causes pain, burning, and sometimes bleeding. It's important to keep the area clean and avoid straining during bowel movements. You could also try using a stool softener, warm sitz baths, and apply a soothing ointment like Anusol or Hydrocortisone cream. If the pain persists, its best to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I have a fissure at 6 o'clock on the left side with a skin tag and now another fissure has developed on the right side. Is there any doctor who performs carbon dioxide laser surgery for chronic fissures?

Yes, many proctologists in metro cities offer CO2 laser for fissure treatment. It causes less pain and faster recovery. Look for laser proctology clinics or colorectal surgeons.

I've noticed this small bump under the skin near my anus recently. It's about the size of a pea and doesn't really seem discolored. I started feeling it a couple of days ago because it gets uncomfortable when I tighten around there. It doesn't hurt, just kind of feels off. I even took a picture just in case, but I'm not sure what it is. Also, no bloody stool or anything like that. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

A small, pea-sized bump near the anus can be a perianal hematoma, an anal skin tag, or a small external hemorrhoid, but it's essential to consult a surgeon
