[Fosterfamily2303]

I'm newly dx with IBD. I have recently noticed a lot ok skin/lump In between my vag and butt hole. Sorry tmi. I decided to take a look at it and it sorta looks like a deep hole but closed (like a belly button ). Any ideas what this could be?

I also have a few slits (like paper cuts) that ste sore and bleeding . STD FREE

Ideas??

It sounds more like a fistula than an abscess which is an abnormal tunnel or connection. Are you finding any pus coming out or pain and fever? Either way it sounds like its not normal and you should be seen by your GI.

Honestly no haven't noticed anything but my hole and around is real painful. Lol no fevers. I do have a lot of output but I also just realized if an yeast issue.

I noticed it there once before but not nearly as much skin /lump as before?

I think it's important to be seen by your GI and if they think its not Crohn's maybe your gynecologist.

Agree with noguts, sounds like a fistula. Call your doc

well i was able to look at it via pic lol...the way the skin is ..its like almost a vag lips (but a lit smaller) and a tiny pin point whole. it litterly 1 inch from the buthole. (in betwwen tge vag And butthole). the pic showed a lil bit of white milky discharge. how embarassing.

still sound like a fistula? is it a pertical name for it? Im leaving for beach and due fir an apt the 17th when i return.

There could be discharge depending on what it may be connected to. If you have a fistula this could very well be what you have based on your symptomology.

I go to doc Monday, can't wait to find out what this pain in the butt thing is .

Definitely sounds like a fistula. I just reported about my vaginal-urethral fistula. I found that on the raw skin the diaper ointment i made for my kids works. Even if you cant see it, there is a discharge, it would certainly make sensitive skin raw.

Keep us posted.

well the doc said it looks like an absecss? i started metronidazol and ciprofloxacn botj 500 mg. eh i feel so dizzy, nauseated and dry mouth to add on to my already problems.

I hope it works. Antibiotics usually aren't effective without incision and drainage but if its a superficial abscess like yours maybe it will respond.
