I've been dealing with this persistent issue on my left hip. There was a wound with pus, and the abscess drained by itself at first, but then it came back. It's been going on for about three months now. Initially, a general medicine doctor treated it by cutting it open and removing the pus. It healed over 30 days, but the pus has started to form again. I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. Could you help me understand why this keeps happening and what my next steps should be?

Consider consulting a specialist, such as general surgeon, for further evaluation and treatment, as the recurring abscess may indicate an underlying issue, such as a fistula, infected cyst, or underlying bone infection, which may require antibiotics, surgical drainage, or other interventionsLast updated on 10 Jul 2025
