Hello,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.com
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
Probable diagnosis :Gluteal abscess
Differential diagnosis :Boils/carbuncle
Investigations needed :Basic blood routine,RBS( Random blood sugar)
Treatment plan : I&D(
Incision and drainage)
Outcome : Excellent.
As per your history,it seems that you have an abscess in your gluteal(buttock) area.It is nothing but collection of pus under the skin.It is a harmless condition but it causes
severe pain.
There is nothing to worry in it and it is readily curable condition.
You have to undergo a procedure called I&D(Incision and drainage) to remove pus and debris from the area.It is a minor procedure and can be done by a general practitioner or even by a trained nurse.
You have to also take a short course of antibiotics like "ampiclox" for five to seven days.
For pain and discomfort you can very well take analgesics like "diclofenac" or "ibuprofen".
Check your blood sugar level to rule out
diabetes.
Hope this information help you.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr.Shinas Hussain
