I've noticed a small bump or pimple right at the opening of my anus for the past couple of days, and it's quite painful and uncomfortable. I'm wondering if I need to see someone in the gastroenterology department or if there's another type of specialist I should consider. Any advice on what this might be and whom I should consult?

I've had an anal fissure for about 8 months now with an 8mm mass near the front. It only hurts during bowel movements when my stool is hard, otherwise no pain at all, but there's a little pus at the site. Do I need surgery for this? If so, what are the side effects? Would lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS) be recommended and what are its side effects?
Given the presence of an anal fissure for 8 months, a mass, pain during hard stools, and pus, surgery might be needed to address the chronic nature of the issue and potential infection. Lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS) is a surgical option but it's crucial to discuss its risks and benefits with a doctor, including the possibility of sphincter incontinence.
