This morning I woke up with discomfort in my anal region that I attributed to either a bruise or a strained muscle or tendon because I had been on my hands and knees recently to stain some deck boards using muscles that I seldom use these days... so, I ignore it.
Later in the day when I had a bowel movement and as I was cleaning that area, pain shot through me like I had been stuck with a knife. After completing that task with diplomacy, I asked my wife to take a looksee but she thought I was being ugly until I explained what I was experiencing. She saw what looked like a large cyst or pimple that was larger than normal on which she put some Polysporin and suggested that we do this twice a day.
A variety of things could cause this but basically it is an infection that is brought about by a low immune system being the most common or other diseases like Crohn's disease or diverticulitis.
