General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

The condition you have just described seems like an perianal abscess which has burst now due to neglecting treatment. This could also form a fistula in ano. Therefore, I would advise you to report to a general surgeon in your area for proper management as it might not be possible to advise you properly on net without clinically examining it.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
