What Causes Pus Filled Bump On The Anus With Bad Smell?
Hi,
Around 4 months ago I had what looked like a boil just outside the anus. I wound up popping it and draining it myself. Pus and blood came out of that boil. There is still a little bump there but not discomforting. I've notice that at times I came smell a bad odor, coming from my underwear, when I pull down my pants to sit on the toilet. My rectum is damp with something I thought was sweat but smells way to bad. Could this still be pus after 4 months ago?

thank you for your query....
yes there can still be pus after 4 months...if it is a deep-seated infection and you have drained the superficial part only...the deep seated chronic infection might be causing the dampness and bad odour...
what i can suggest is do an antibiotic course for the infection, maintain cleanliness of the wounded part and if the infection does not resolve, go to a SURGEON to drain the deep seated pus and break the locules situated deep to skin...that is expected to be curative...
hope that was useful....
regards
