A member asked:

Good day, i had a perianal abscess removed 2 months ago. i still see a few spots of blood and slight matter from the wound. is this normal? it looks to be closed. there is slight pain when i put pressure on it by sitting or sleeping.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May need recheck: 2 months after an abscess is drained there really should not be pain or blood- those symptoms could indicate incomplete healing or possible a low grade infection still present I strongly recommend you contact the surgeon who did the procedure, who will likely want to re-examine the area
