Perianal Abscess

2025-11-05 09:42:24
I have very small perianal abscess measuring 5mm. which got drained with antibiotics, However the firm lump inside still stays when touched. Outside it seems everything is fine unless you use a finger to touch and feel the small firm lump inside. Do I need a surgery?

Depends on how many days you used antibiotics. Is it recurring again and again ? Or is it first time ?
