hi a couple of days ago i had a really painful swelling 1cm right of my anus.. it was slightly bruised looking and it hurt to sit wipe or walk. i put moisturiser on it 2 nights in a row and then awoke to find it had burst,, puss came out of it and when i was cleaning it it was bleeding too.. it is now not nearly as painful, but still discharge is coming out of it.. not sure what it is or what to do??

Hi Carly,
It is not a hemorrhoid, those are really swollen veins. What you are seeing is an anal abscess.
You should have it looked at by your doctor. The pus indicates infection and it can spread if not treated. Usually you'd be put on an antibiotic.
Hope it helps.

Keep an eye on it for few days Carly. If the swelling is down you should be OK. If it returns, get it checked.
Good luck
