View allI'm really worried because my belly button is sore and there's this clear, thin discharge coming out of it that smells really bad. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol for any discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I had fissure surgery 5 years ago and now there's a perianal abscess near my anus. The scan shows a small thick-walled abscess about 15x12mm at the 6 o'clock position, 13mm deep to the anal verge. No mass or deep issues in the rectum were found. Should I be worried about this abscess coming back after treatment? What are my options to prevent it from recurring?
Yes, there's a possibility that your perianal abscess could recur, especially if an anal fistula is present. Treatment usually involves incision and drainage, and sometimes surgery to address a fistula if present. Preventing recurrence involves good hygiene, preventing constipation, and potentially surgical intervention for fistula management

I've been dealing with a fistula for two years now and had surgery, but the abscess keeps coming back every 6 months for the past 15 months. What medication can help heal the track so it doesn't return? Also, what exactly is an abscess and how does it form?
To guide you correctly, a thorough assessment is necessary.
