Growths near my drain

[nogutsnoglory]

When I wipe I feel 4 large pimple/blister like things on my butt cheek near my abscess drain. Two of them seem to have a little channel running down them.

I'm not sure what to make of them. I'm hoping the moisture from the diapers and the fact that the area is being drained into and not kept as clean that it may just be diaper rash or a pimple. They are painful to touch. I will be seeing a doctor next week.

Can you get your drain wet? If so taking a warm bath for 15 minutes twice daily can really help with any irritation down there. Calmoseptine ointment has really helped me as well.

If you're not sure DO NOT get the drain wet.

It does sound like fistula... I hope they aren't These darn things can appear quicker than we would imagine them able to...

I just had the surgeries days ago. Can they develop the fast? I was afraid they might be fistulas but they run like a canal in my butt and don't seem to connect one area to another.

Hum... well I've seen mine evolve in terms of a week or about (from the time it was getting painful to the moment they were opening at the surface of my skin...). They can be pimple though, what size are they? Mine were never smaller than a pencil eraser I would say.

Its hard for me to know the size I just feel them. They are pretty painful but I'm sure diaper rash is too.

Does it feel like it is hard around them? Fistula usually have an induration ring around them.

One of them is pretty hard. What is an induration ring?
