Why Has Boil In Anus Been Bleeding For A Long Time?
Hi, I have had a boil in my anus for 2 weeks now and have drained all of the pus from it, however, today his has started bleeding from the area where the pus came from and my boil had gone to a flat state and initially it was a raised shape. Can you please advise what I should do to stop the bleeding as I am using my wifes sanitary napkins?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to an anal abscess.
I suggest using an antibiotic cream for local application.
I also recommend to cover.it with a clean bandage.
If the symptoms continue,you should consult a proctologist.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
