What Causes Oozing From The Surgery Site On The Buttocks?
My boyfriend has went throught two surgeries on his butt in the last 6 months. Its on his cheek. The doctors thought it was a cyst well, the fluid was clear. The first time the opening got infected so that's why he needed a second surgery to remove infected tissue. Now it's been two months since last surgery and still hasn't healed and still draining some. Is this normal for it taking so long to heal and continue to drain? Oh he was released from the surgeon who did the surgeries.

Hi,
From history it seems that he might be having infected sebaceous cyst.
While excision of cyst complete sac is to be removed but if it is not removed completely due to thinness of sac, recurrence is likely.
Consult your surgeon and discuss about this problem.
Ok and take care.
