Hello, I have recently over the past year developed what I thought were pimples on my abdomen but they differ, it seems some grow to large size and one was in the crack of my anus, but I am not sure what it is. A doctor told me I may have some form of hair follicle illness or ailment and gave me medication however whenever I take a pill I always have the need to belch or burp afterwards and the aftertaste is just awful. What do you think these things are? I have popped it before and both puss and blood exploded from the wound, It hurt to touch and even more to pop. I hope you can help me out with this problem.
Hi. Since you have a problem of more than a year it will be wise to get all the relevant blood tests done including blood sugar. I would also advise such a patient to surgically remove the disease and subject the specimen for biopsy as it may come up with a proper diagnosis, as the abscess does not last this long. Pus culture and sensitivity will guide for the best possible medicines and go for injectable form of antibiotics to avoid the taste problem.
