My 15 yr old has an anal abscess, what are the proper ways to treat this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
He needs to see : A surgeon. For the time being you can have him soak his botom in warm water. It may spontaneously drain on its own and make him feel better but i will still recommend an exam by a surgeon.
