A member asked:
Are there any other ways to heal perianal abscess except surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Abscesses require surgical drainage in order to give the maximum chance for recovery. Antibiotic treatment alone of an abscess, especially a larger one, often fails because antibiotics often can't penetrate into the abscess itself.
