I don't mean to sound rude but I am completely serious. Can someone please tell me if it is possible to get a pimple on the rim of your anal cavity? I'm scared it might be something more serious because it's really painful.

Okay, first off, take a DEEP BREATH. Odds are, you're not dying.\n\nTo answer your question, if you haven't had sexual contact with another person (not just sex, oral and hand jobs count, too), it's probably not an STD, but I would like to remind you that it's really, REALLY important that you keep things clean...and well lubed, when you masturbate. Sometimes a minor infection can show up at the sight of chaffing, or it could be a zit. That's right, a pimple on your penis. It happens. It's not a huge deal. Right now, I'd keep the area clean and dry and possibly avoid jerking off for a little while (it's tough, I know...girls like to get off, too, you know), a little Neosporin wouldn't hurt. If it's still the same, or worse, in a couple of days, go visit the doctor.

This sounds like an abscess to me, look up Pilonidal abscess or cyst as what you are describing sounds exactly like this.  You can not treat this yourself, you must see a Dr before it gets worse.\n\nI worked in a GP surgery for 7 years and we had a girl who had this, she had to come in a few times a week to have it cleaned and re-dressed.  Don't be embarrassed or worry it is quite a common condition and can be fixed.  \n\nGo and see a Dr to put your mind at rest.

I think you mean "pilonidal cyst"...\n\nI have first-hand experience of this: I HAVE ONE TOO!\n\nThis is my experience, yours may differ...\n\nI noticed it about four years ago. It felt like the area slightly to the left of my tailbone was larger than it used to be. I found that if I pressed the area hard with a piece of tissue it would bleed a little and there was some pus present. It hasn't been a huge pain in the a** (sorry!) because under normal circumstances it's not the area I normally sit on. It sometimes flares up and becomes very apparent when I've been in the car a long time, and it's especially noticeable when I recline in a hard bottomed chair in that state. Every few months it will get inflamed much like a blister or a boil. That's when it gets very painful to sit on. This will last for about two days and then it will pop. I might notice some blood on the back of the toilet seat and sometimes I can feel a wet sensation as it soaks into my underwear. Once it pops it will be sore for another day and return to it's hardly noticeable state.\n\nLike I said it's not a huge problem and I considered surgery for a while until I read some first-hand accounts. Apparently the surgery is no problem but the recovery takes weeks and means constant dressing changes to what is essentially a very painful, deep wound. Sitting is especially difficult and if you have to sit a lot then you'll definitely be out of action for a few weeks.\n\nSometimes I rub tea tree oil onto it after a shower. This seems to bring the swelling down for a few days.\n\nOh yeah, forget that crap about cancer. That's just an example of someone b***s***ing for points. Cancer doesn't even come into it.\n\nHere's some more info:\n\nA Pilonidal (Abscess, Cyst, Sinus, Dimple) is an abscess in the natal cleft (more commonly referred to as your butt crack) that tends to become infected and cause intense pain and drainage. Sometimes a Pilonidal contains hair and sometimes they don't. \n\nThe term "Pilonidal" technically means "nest of hairs". This is not always true and there are people who have Pilonidal abscesses that have no hair in them. Many doctors will tell you that all Pilonidals are caused by hair, this has not been proven to be the case.  A Pilonidal cyst is basically an abscess of pus and hair beneath the outer skin - a boil gone very, very bad. Pilonidal abscess are prone to excruciatingly painful infections and they can expand (tunnel) .\n\nThe term "Pilonidal Cyst" is actually incorrect.  99% of all Pilonidals are actually abscesses, not cysts.  Use of the word "cyst" has caused a great deal of misinformation about treatments among doctors and patients alike. Pathologists and surgeons on rare occasions find the sac is lined with epidermis, made up of cells from skin, but only cells from the outer layer of skin. That outer layer, which we call epidermis, contains no follicles. Pathologists find epidermis lines the sac only in rare late cases where epidermis has crept into a long-standing abscess in an attempt to heal it. They never find a sac lined with intact skin and follicles, only an occasional sac lined with epidermis.\n\nWhile the terms Pilonidal Cyst and Pilonidal Sinus are frequently used interchangeably, they are not technically the same thing. A Pilonidal is an abscess; a pocket of pus and infection below the skin. A sinus is a cavity/passageway that links the abscess with your outer skin. Not everyone who has a Pilonidal abscess has a Pilonidal Sinus; the sinus (and there can be more than one) is a small dimple-like hole, usually below the actual abscess, which allows it to drain. \n\nPilonidal abscesses usually occur at the top of the "natal cleft" (aka your crack). Their usual position is slightly to the left side, with sinus openings traditionally right along the midline (middle) of the cleft. Many people have cysts lower in the cleft

Does it hurt when you sit?  It is probably a boil or just a pimple.  Leave it alone.  Boils and get infected if you mess with them.  If it gets really big and full of puss, you may have to go to the doctor and have it lanced.  Doesn't sound like a boil, because they hurt like Hell.

i would definitely not use the compound-w on your privates unless you like pain...go have your Dr. check it out, if you do not want to use your regular Dr. find another so you can have a little peace at night and it might be a mole or something but at least it will put your mind at ease...\n\ngood luck

How come people show concern about it this much?  Like some other person said, for a big number of the world male population this is normal.  I think this is one of the things that have been recorded on people's mind, I swear.  Why there is not a lot of repulsion toward the female reproductive organ.  As I see it, there are more opportunities for it to be of concern.  A lot more of skin goin this way and the other.  A cavity for breeding of all kind of nasties.  But you know, I am not concerned, because I was not taught in that belief (maybe I should)

Sure - very possible.  Teeth don't like trauma - the only part of the tooth that is alive is the nerve (or pulp).  WHen it dies, bacteria begin to build up inside the tooth.  Eventually it will destroy the apex (or tip of the root) and begin destroying the bone around the tooth.  When enough pressure builds up, a pimple like sore will show up on the gum tissue near the root of the tooth.  It will (hopefully) pop allowing the pressure to escape and the puss flow into the patient's mouth.  (yea - I know it's gross, but I couldn't think of a better way to say it). \nBad breath is usually caused by bacteria.  In this case, the bacteria inside and around the decaying pulp (nerve) of the damaged tooth is what smells.  To reso,ve the issue, the nerve must be removed.  In very late stages of this process, the tooth may be too far gone and unsavable.  Better to treat as soon as possible to avoid damaging the jaw bone, surrounding teeth, and possibly even a systematic (whole body) infection due to increased bacteria count.\n\nIf she does need to remove the tooth, there are great replacements available.  We can use a partial denture - which was more pobular in the past or with low income people.  Or you could use a bridge with is a fixed in place semi-permemant solution that looks like real teeth!\n\nHappy Thanksgiving - and happy eats!

It may just be an ingrown hair. You should see if anything will come out of it by lightly queezing it. Don't press too hard and not if it hurts badly. If you get puss that doesn't look like a zit, it may be something worse than an ingrown hair. Wash with peroxide, put neosporin and a band-aid on it then go to a Dr if it doesn't start to heal within a day.

maybe a cyst.  does it look like a red, swollen pimple?  stick it with a pin and see if pus comes out.  If it does, it's a cyst and you need to see a doctor to get it out.

Yes, see a physician. You may have an internal infection or something more serious like a disease.

My friend Tony grew up with an almost totally clear complexion. On the rare occasions when he did get a zit, he would cultivate it, rubbing oil on it and hoping it would get big so he could pop it. It was funny to see how excited he got every time he felt the first sign of a zit. He never scarred either. I was lucky not to scar and enjoyed sending my zits to hell when they showed up too. Wait till you grow up and the zits on your face are replaced by zits on your butt. They are not as much fun and can be painful.

its not that bad ive had both, but dont not under any circumstances do it your self, you could get a really bad infection, go to a tatoo parlor to get it done. besides the needles they use a different, theyre hollow so it cuts a plug of skin out  and it heals all the way around, other needles just make a dull hole and it wont heal.
