Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have perianal abcess since 25 days. Antibiotics is going on for 20 days. Abcess drainage is regular initially it was pus now mostly blood. Size has reduced. But at times it gets hard before expected drainage. Abcess area is still hard & not getting soft. My doctor says there is hardly anything to make incision for drainage. Please suggest suitable remedy.
As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
