What Causes A Recurrent Abscess Near The Panty Line?

I have a reacurring abscess and it will frequently bust, go away and come bk same place. When it does come it takes forever to go away as if it was never there. When it bust white thick pus come out with blood which relieves the pain but it still don t go away for some time. This is near my panty line. I m so annoyed. My ob says it s normal, but this can t be normal for years now. I just want it gone. Oh I ve been in antibiotics, the soaks, and hot compresses nothing. Do I need surgery could it possible be deep now??

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Recurrent abscess at the same site along the panty line could be due to mechanical friction causing abrasion of skin leading to formation of abscess.
Kindly change the brand of panties made of soft material like cotton. Apply moisturizer to the region at bedtime. Cleanse the area twice daily with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon. Use medicated soaps regularly for taking bath.
By adopting to above measures, you should be able to overcome the problem.
If not, kindly get you blood glucose checked, as repeated infections could happen in people having diabetes. Kindly consult Physician with the report for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope the information provided helps.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.,
MBBS., MD.
