What Is The Treatment For A Infection In The Buttock?

My two year old had an infection at the top edge of her butt around her pullup line. I've given her and sprayed silver biotics on it and the infection appears to be gone and the entire section that was swollen is getting better and now scar tissue is draining. It was very swollen in this area and although it looks better how much longer should it take for the scar tissue to drain or is it reproducing more? But she's walking better saying shes feeling better. I was trying to avoid going to the doctor because I prefer natural medicines.

Hi,
As there is drain from the scar indicates that there is bacterial infection and might require one antibiotic medicine course to clear the infection.
Clean the wound properly and apply antibiotic cream.
Consult your doctor and discuss about antibiotic medicine.
Ok and take care.
