What Causes A Dark Lump Oozing Clear Drainage On The Buttock?
My husband has a fracture at l 1 he is 68 waiting for neuro appointment his buttocks has like a pimple on one side of butt, like it’s going long his outer crack, & looks dark in color has like clear drainage for several months, could this be from spinal leakage?
brief answer is it could be spinal leakage if the site closer to vertebral column or suggested bacterial infection causing local abscess
thse symptoms of lump oozing clear drainage should be clically examined and may require other investigations as local wound culture and pripheral blood culture may be needed...
if any injury had been in the past few days of this area skin may cause bacterial invasion and formation of pus then drainage occur ....if the care provider doesnot wash hands and wear clean gloves and cleanse your hand and apply alcohol it will be risky to increase the bacterial infection
if your husband get feverish you should do pripheral blood culture and drainge examination to detect micro organism that causes that till now the infection is localised and only topical antibiotic cream will be helpful simple investigations as x ray , mri ,blood culture will help alot to declare diagnosis
wish you healthy life
