Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you that you may be having infection in your butt. Last year also you got same problem for which surgeon have to done incision and drainage of pus. You may need again incision and drainage.But if it is initial stage it can be controlled by antibiotics. Analgesic such as ibuprofen can be taken for pain relief. Vitamin B and C is helpful for recovery. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us.
