A doctor has provided 1 answer

Perirectal abscess?: You need to have a doctor examine the skin area and treat this appropriately. An abscess is a chronic skin infection that will not improve unless opened with an incision surgically, drained of pus, and treated with antibiotics. A perirectal abscess can be serious if left untreated, may spread and cause septicemia- please have your GP evaluate the area and decide on next steps, immediately
