Hi guys... So I just noticed that I have a small bump down there, sort of between my vagina and anus but off to the side a little bit. I am trying to stay calm. I also have HSV so I have started some prophylactic valacyclovir in case that's all it is. It isn't painful or tender at all really, I just noticed it by chance.
In any case, we're coming up on the holidays and I'm wondering if, in the slim chance that it is an abscess or fistula, is it better to have it seen to sooner rather than waiting? I mean, is there anything that my GI/surgeon would do that could make things go better, or does it really not matter? Trying to decide if I should drop everything tomorrow and try to get squeezed in before everyone goes on vacation.
