Perineal abcess
My fiance noticed a bump between his scrotum and anus less than a week ago. Since then, it has grown to approx 2 inches in length, and is very firm and warm to the touch, as well as red with visible pus seen under the skin. He has now started running a fever and generally feels ill. He is afraid to go to the doctor, and since I have a nursing background, wants me to try to drain it at home. Is it medically necessary to go to the doctor, or can this be taken care of ouselves?
Hi Christie, so your a nurse, so why are you here then, sory no but I think a doctor would be best or an ER.
Good Luck
