Hello, I'm really bothered because I have some pimple-like growths around my anus. There's about a third of an inch around the anus itself that's clear, and then about 3/4 of an inch on both sides covered with them. They haven't been painful, just a bit itchy sometimes the last few weeks. As of late, I haven't felt any pain, itch, or discomfort whatsoever. I noticed that they grew a bit bigger and defined this past week but I only actually checked what it looked like now. By the way, this may be an important detail: I had diarrhea from November 18-25. Could it be a bacterial infection of some sort? I'm also afraid it could be herpes but it doesn't really match the pictures I've seen thus far, though there have been similarities. I've begun applying Bactroban, an antibacterial ointment. I'll monitor any progressions in the next few days.
Anyway, what are your initial thoughts? Could it be an infection? Is it simply acne? Is it herpes? What similar diseases are often mistaken for herpes with these symptoms? I'm really anxious.
