The Solution To The Boil Scars That Won’t Dry Up?
, my husband has a chronic boil on his buttocks, but the boil has burst, and it causes sores. One wound, which did not dry out, developed into two wounds. The wound is shaped like a small circle, side by side with each other, and if you wear pants the blood is traced on the pants because they don’t dry out. In addition, the skin around the buttocks has enlarged pores for a long time.

Hello Amanda, thanks for your question
Based on your explanation above, it seems that your husband has a bacterial infection around the anus accompanied by a buildup of pus. This condition in medical parlance is called a perianal abscess. Symptoms experienced include:
At first there appears a reddish swelling on the skin, which feels warm and painful
then a pus-filled lump (abscess) appears, forming a boil with a size that is getting bigger and bigger due to the buildup of pus in the tissue under the skin.
The abscess bursts into an open wound that oozes pus
often accompanied by fever
If the abscess is not treated properly, the longer the abscess will expand, it can create a new abscess in a location not far from the site of the first infection, and even create a connection between the digestive tract and the skin surface (fistula). Since the anus is the last part of the digestive tract where waste is removed, healing is not as easy as other areas due to the high risk of infection.
It is best if you consult a surgeon directly. The doctor will examine the abscess, perform additional examinations if necessary, such as ultrasound, MRI, to CT-scan, to finally decide on the best treatment for your current condition, either with drugs or surgery. Follow the advice given by the doctor who treats you.
