I have had a constant burning sensation around the entryway to my anus for 2 1/2 years. I have seen several doctors, including specialists and therapists, but no one can figure out the cause. The burning persists despite treatments like injections for internal hemorrhoids and using Monistat. What could be causing this chronic anal pain and what further investigations or treatments should I consider?

I recently visited a monkey sanctuary in Bali, Indonesia, where a monkey lightly bit my neck. No blood was drawn, and the skin was barely broken. Should I be concerned about getting a rabies vaccination? Additionally, I noticed a red swelling under my arm two days ago. It is red, tender, and doesn't have a physical 'lump'. I applied a hot compress, and it seems slightly better today. Can this heal on its own?
