May 27th, 2010 drcheah No comments

Symptoms:
Painful lump in natal cleft(groove between the buttocks)
Fever
(this needs to be differentiated from a perianal abscess which is located closer to the anus)

Treatment:
Drainage of abscess, excision of sinus and removal of the nest of hairs – this can be done with small incisions for faster healing.
