Deep Pain Below The Scar After Gluteal Abscess Surgery. Is It Reoccurring? Whom To Consult?
Hello there, I am having a slight confusion and needed some advice on which speciality doctor that I need to visit. Last year around this time, I was admitted into the hospital for a surgery . It was removal left gluteal abscess . It was about a size of a palm. Now it have healed but I ve felt the same pain like a year ago but at a lower location of the Scar of it. Could it have recurred again ? Should I revisit the general surgeon or should I visit a dermatologist . I can feel the pain it s quite deep. Thank you

Hi
Gluteal abscess will be deep seated sometimes.
You have to meet a General surgeon.
If there is fever,redness,local rise of temperature over that site ,gluteal abscess can be suspected.
Or else it could be simple musculoskeletal pain.
But,consult a general surgeon,get examined clinically and proceed.
Wish you speedy recovery
Regards
