HI,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM virtual Clinic.
I studied your query in all the details put forth by you.
I understood your health concerns about the treatment for a painful lump on the buttock of your husband.
This is because of the Boil with black
hematoma due to friction of lump between the butt cheek.
Worry as these lump are infectious in nature and spread to nearby area in the butt cheek.
Treatment -
-As the lump is already shrunken, I would suggest you to Consult a ER Surgeon and get the physical examination and his
Second Opinion on it,who would drain it after Antibiotic cover of 2 days of treatment with 3-5 days of further antibiotic cover ,as need be.
-Tab-Antibiotic(like
Ofloxacin +
Ornidazole) with prescription from your doctor.
-Anti-inflammatory (like
Diclofenac) for 5 days time.
-And Surgical
Drainage and packaging,for the size of the lump,to be left till secondary healing heals it in next 8-10 days time.
-Plenty fluid,good high protein bland diet,Vitamin supplement(like
Zincovit).
This would help you to plan treatment with your ER surgeon.
Hope this reply would satisfy your query and would resolve the worry with it.
