Suggest treatment for lump near the rectal area
Patient: I have a bump on my bottom next to my rectal area . its been about 5 days & its very painful . I took a needle and burned the end of it , after that I poked where I seen the white head and it popped . there was blood , black stuff & pus that came out ! It also smells really bad . I just popped what I could for now but there a lot more infection in there . its so tender its hard for me to wear underwear . what should I do now ? Doctor: Hi,From history it seems that there might be having anal abscess giving this problem.Due to cut or soreness due to constipation there is infection leading to abscess formation.Go for one antibiotic, anti-inflammatory medicine course for 5 days.Clean the local part with antiseptic lotion and dress it with antibiotic cream.Keep local hygiene clean and dry.Ok and take care.
