Big Squishy, Soft, Red Painful Bumps Near Anus With Pus Inside, Weird Smell When Popped. History Of Recent Childbirth And Weightgain. Remedy?
i recently had a baby and since i gained weight 5 foot 7 195 pounds, ive been getting these big squishy, soft, red bumps on my bum near the crack, they hurt and seems like it takes forever for them to go away some of them never get a white head they kind of just look like they have pus inside and if they pop they have a weird smell, i have like 5 rite now, its embarrassing and having just had a baby and gaining weight i feel unattractive enough these big pimple like things are definitely not helping... what could it be, and how can i get rid of them, also i shower everyday and am not a dirty person.

Hi, thanks for your query.
It seems that you have boils or carbuncle on your bums which are pus filled.This area is prone to infection because of sweat, moisture, friction, and lack of mobility (as you had recent child birth).
You may follow these general measures:
-take a shower twice a day and keep the area dry.
-wear loose cotton clothes.
-weight reduction would help.
-apply a local antibiotic cream twice a day.
You may consult a doctor and get the pus sent for culture and sensitivity to know the organism and oral antibiotics which will be effective against it.
Hope this solves your query.
