Abscess near left buttock
Hello Doctor!
I had an abscess a year back on the left buttock near the gap (where buttocks divide). Later 4months back a small hole has done on the dividing line of the buttocks..I took antibiotics an it got cured. Now again abscess has formed on the same left side same area (which I had last year).
I'm very much concerned about what it could and how worst it has turned out watching these recurrence.
I'm damn scared of getting operated and not sure how to deal with this issue both physically and mentally.
Kindly pour your suggestions.

Probably a Pilonidal sinus if you have hair in the area.Visit your surgeon and get yourself examined again.If its not getting cured and reappearing again and again surgical option would be a better option and avoiding inconvenience in future..
