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?

View allI 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, soft, pea-sized lump near my anal area for the past few years. It doesn't hurt, nor does it bleed or cause any irritation. Should I be worried about it, or is it something normal?
It is possible that the lump you are experiencing could be a skin tag or a hemorrhoid. However, without a physical examination, it is difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis. If you are not experiencing any symptoms such as pain, bleeding, or irritation, it may not be a cause for concern. If you are still worried about it, you can try using over-the-counter hemorrhoid creams like Preparation H or Tucks to see if there is any improvement. However, I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and advice.

How long does recovery usually take after anal fissure surgery and are there any non-surgical treatment options that could work instead
Recovery after anal fissure surgery typically takes about six weeks for complete healing, but most patients can resume normal activities, including work, within one to two weeks. Non-surgical options like topical ointments, Botox injections, or blood pressure medications can be effective in some cases and may be tried before surgery.
