I had a real bad pain next to my butt hole about 2 years ago.iwent to the hospital and the dr.said there is nothing wrong so I went home. About 1 1/2 weeks later I got so sick and went to my dr.she sent me to another hospital and the er dr. Made a small incision and draned more puss than I ever had seen in my life.and sent me to a surgeon thay oprerated on it and left a cut wide open and let it heal like that. I had to sit on a water bath for a couple of weeks. Now it is leaking bad again.but the problem is I have something else on the top of the crack of my butt that had a lot of puss and blood coming from it. This has been going on for about a year now I have been buying gauze pads and puting them in the crack of my butt all this time. What can be done to stop this from happening.or would I need surgery again..last time I was out of work for 8 weeks.i am a machine repair tech and I'm always climbing in and of machines with àopen wound like that I can't do my job is there anything I can do for this problem.and can it get septic and cause bigger problems. Thanks for your time it is appreciated
