How is pediatric perianal abscess treated

Patient's question:

Left buttock has red bumps, right buttock has hard lumps inside

Doctor's answer:

Hello, anorectal abscess usually requires abscess incision and drainage in about a week, or it may rupture on its own. Most cases will form a fistula, taking a long time to heal or recurring frequently. Most children can recover before the age of two. You can also use potassium permanganate (PP powder) diluted to bathe the child's buttocks, and then buy a bottle of disinfectant Amixin solution to spray twice a day on the small bumps. The main thing with this condition is to maintain cleanliness around the anus. During this period, use fewer diapers and bathe the child's buttocks frequently.
