How To Cure Pus Filled Pimple On The Bottom Near Anus?
Hi, my 9 year old daughter has a pimple on the cheek of her bottom, about 1.5 inches from her anus. It has a head with pus and there is a second smaller pimple with a head almost joined to it. Otherwise the skin is normal and smooth. Could this be school sores? Strep/ staph? Something I can ignore? Thanks

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Your daughter's problem is most likely folliculitis. For such condition i advise antibiotics.If there is abscess i recommend incising and draining it.Dressing can be done with glycerine magsulf and betadine which allows it to burst and clear also.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
