Lump next to seton

Hi,

I had a perianal abscess last year and a seton fitted this year in January. I was supposed to have my check up with my surgeon but had to cancel due to the coronavirus lockdown. I have now had a little lump next to the seton. It's painful to the touch and looks like a blister (the best way I can describe it) I'm worried that it's another track or something and will require another seton! This one has been beyond painful and the recovery took a while. I'm a cleaner and have 4 children so hate being off my feet and in pain, but I'm dreading the worst. I really want to exercise but it is so sore I can't do much at all. Any advice?
 
Sounds like another abscess forming. Have any cortisone handy? I had to Google what a seton was. Yikes! Have your doctors discussed going with a colostomy solution?
