Packing Feel Off Post Anal Abscess Drain, Have Cleaned The Area, Now Have Hard Lump. Cause?
Hi, It is possible that there is a local collection of blood and other inflammatory elements that is causing the hard lump. There is nothing serious to be worried about. You may get your daughter checked tomorrow when the nurse comes in. She may require another good dressing and things will clear out soon. I wish your daughter a quick recovery. Regards,
