I had a perineal abscess drained on monday. today is saturday and im still seeing a lot puss. is this normal?

No: Incision and drainage followed by antibiotic coverage should have started a significant healing process in 6 days. Contact the MD who did the procedure and get re-examined, especially if you are not taking antibiotics.
