Suggest Remedy For Infection In The Inside Of The Buttock

I have an infection that is on the right inside of my buttock. I have a rather large skin tag in that area and then noticed that the area and all surrounding areas were becoming warm and under the skin a hard swelling occurred with pain to the touch. Within a day what looks to an abcess has gotten pretty ugly and is oozing. I took a picture of it. The skin tag is a few inches away from the wound, but I think it may have caused the infection to begin with. I have no health insurance at this time, and have had no money to treat this. Today I bought and antibiotic ointment and gauze to cover it. It is oozing red and yellowish and the guaze upon removal has a very bad stench to it. What can I do to remedy this?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having formation of anal abscess and now it bursted open giving rise oozing and induration.
You might require proper removal of pus by your doctor and go for dressing regularly for few days.
You might require one course of antibiotic for quick healing of induration and infection.
Ok and take care.
