Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my 6 year old has a hard red bump on her bottom. We have put drawing salve and neosporin on it. It developes a head and pus comes out. It seems to beginning to clear up but she has had it for several weeks. Could it be a boil or something more serious like cancer?
Red swollen bump with pus at buttocks appears to be a boil, though it could be abscess.
Buttocks area is prone to develop large pus collection because of predominant fatty tissue area, infection rapidly spread and pustules convert in abscess in short time.
It requires antibiotic therapy, depending on ultrasound report, incision drainage may also require.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
