What is this ?

[pipmom]

Daughter has Seton, and looks like a blister around the exit from the buttock.Very painful. Any input ?

It could be an abscess getting ready to pop. As you said it is painful, I would give the doc a call.

The fistula tract probably has pus building up or a new fistula forming. I would guess pus build up. Have her pull on the seton to open up the space around it and bathe, bathe, bathe to keep it clean.

Best of Luck!

 

[If*]

Ask the Dr about a sitz bath, epsom salt or aloe vera added to warm water. Also see if you can get a peri bottle to use after every bathroom use. Pat dry with a soft cloth. Tissue can make the area raw. Wipes can have alcohol so read the ingredients. Keep the area super clean & dry.

Super sorry, hope she feels better very soon.
