A member asked:

Had a complex seton fistulotomy 5 years ago. the outside wound is starting to hurt. & feels like you can a pimple you need to pop. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Painful swelling at a previously treated and healed anal fistula does not sound normal. Need to have an examination with a doctor to see if the fistula condition is trying to return or recur. Taking Percocet can cause constipation that can increase risks to anal damage.
