A member asked:
Can you tell me about peri anal abscess which keeps coming back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If it keeps: Recurring in the exact same spot, you most likely have an anal fistula and will require surgical repair. Best to see a colon and rectal surgeon and determine the diagnosis and treatment options available.
