Question 1

i have pimples around my butthole. not directly by it but i popped the pimple pus like stuff came it almost looked like black head and had a bad smell?

Accepted Answer

Perirectal abscess?: This sounds like more than pimples, especially if the bumps were larger than normal pimples. You might have a peri-rectal abcess -- not necessarily serious, but you should see a doctor to sort it out and determine if you need an antibiotic or perhaps a minor surgical procedures to drain pus. Good luck!

Question 2

is it dangerous 2 have hudradenitis suppurativa  all around your ears, neck & head. i'm worried about all the toxins, sometimes the pus smells bad.

Accepted Answer

Hidradenitis on head: HS is not dangerous, just a really difficult disease to deal with. Find a dermatologist who is interested in helping you and stick with him/her. Go to www.hs-foundation.org to find someone near you. I consider it one of my missions in life to help combat this disease.

Accepted Answer

Sinus infection?: Do you have a history of sinus infections? Did you have a cold recently? Any headaches? Facial pain or pressure? Cough when lying down at night? Not all sinus infections need to be treated with antibiotics. I would drink plenty of fluids also. If the symptoms get worse, or if start coughing more or get fevers, i would see your doc.

Question 7

my right underarm are really sticky and a pus like substance is coming out of it and it smells?

Accepted Answer

Lymph inflammation: These are called hiradinitis supprativa. Flare-ups may be triggered by perspiration, hormonal changes (such as monthly cycles in women), humidity and heat, and clothing friction. Persistent lesions may lead to scarring and the formation of sinus tracts, or tunnels connecting the abscesses or infections under the skin. At this stage, complete healing is usually not possible, and progression varies.

Question 8

i have an wound  on my finger form a cycist there is a little hole and pus is coming out and it smells it's also hard around the wound is that ok?

Accepted Answer

That's NOT OK.: That's an infection.  That requires antibiotics.  And if there's a deeper hole, it could even be an infection of the muscle or bones.  This should be evaluated right away and treatment should be initiated.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Need eval: You appear to have a sexually transmitted disease resulting in an infection in your penis. You need to go to a clinic to be tested for what the germ is so proper treatment can be selected/started.

Question 10

Nose Piercing Pus: To draw out pus, apply a hot, moist washcloth for ten minutes, then apply hydrogen peroxide with a q-tip. If swelling worsens, go see your primary healthcare provider.
