Suggest Treatment For Abcess On Perineum With Lumps
Hi my 33 year old daughter has had an abcess on her perineum for a few days. She was prescribed antibiotics yesterday and today it has burst. However it burst behind the lump and the lump looks the same. She's in considerable pain and I think is worried about the possibility of blood poisoning

welcome to Health care magic.
1.If it is not resolving after an antibiotic treatment, then the possible treatment will be incision and drainage ( where a small cut to the lump is made and drained the pus with in and cleaned with antiseptic fluids and closed ) after that a course of antibiotic for better healing.
2. No there is nothing in this case to suggest blood poisoning.
3. Some times it is recommended to have an ultrasound scan of the lump to see the nature of the lump and its origin and extensions.
4.See your doctor and let it get examined and do the needful treatment.5.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you
