Puss Filled Boil. What Is It Actually N How Can It Be Treated?
I had a puss-filled boil sort of growth near my anus. It got burst some time back but the growth remained. Just yesterday it bursted again with pain. I feel awkward to show it to a doctor . What is it actually n how can it be treated?

hi;
you are probably having a fistula or sinus as we call it.It has burst twice & it will come back again .It will require treatment ;mostly surgical excision so you need to show it to a Surgeon who will see & decide whether it will settle with medicines or require surgery.
thanks
