    Question

    Please help me, I am very worried. I searched your site and I could not really find any questions like mine so please answer this.. I have two little white bumps on one my butt cheeks (near the outside) and the surrounding anal area has been burning on and off for the past couple days, but no where else. I tried popping them to see if it was ingrown hairs but just some clear liquid came out.. what could this be? Help!!

    Answer

    The reason we do not answer questions about bumps or lumps is because a clinician has to see them to know what they are, and ask other questions like, are you sexually active. You can get pimples anywhere you have skin, so they just may be pimples - so keep them clean, do not pick them, and see what happens. If they are not pimples, then go see your doctor. Sorry!
