My Dr drained a abscess near my rectum. It was the size of a plum,!! and I took the packing out like I was instructed. I noticed there is still a small hard lump there. He did put me on bactrum. Does this mean I have to go through the procedure again? or is this normal to still have a lump there?
HelloThanks for query. You had Ischiorectal abscess which is incised and Chat Doctor. The hard lump that is there is due to induration of soft tissue due to inflammation. Normally it takes 2-3 weeks to get it resolved completely. Continue taking antibiotics like Augmenting and anti-inflammatory medicine like Diclofenac twice daily. Daily cleaning and
