Does it get better if you take a round of antibotics? I'm not saying live on them but hopefully it can give you relief for a few months. So online I recommend buying a microwavable heating pad. Literally sit on it every night for 1 hour before you got to bed. If you make that a habit it will really help you alot. Then you can ask for a prescription of clindamycin 1% lotion or foam. the Foam stings but works my better than the lotion. The lotion will help with getting rid of any smells/odors in the area, and you can use it twice a day. Also if you can take zinc on a regular basis and make sure you never smoke. These are all things that can help you minimize the pain and disease. I've found that LEVOQUIN works great for me.
Just last month I got an Infected absess cyst in my left breast that was really bad, and I took 7 Levoquin over a week and I've done great since then. I normally get a new cyst everyday on my upper hip area and since taking the pills I haven't got any there. My breast are not that bad right now either. I normally have about 12 of them under my breast.I have none that are draining now just some old scared ones healing. I wonder how many you have on your bum. I only get one there. It's right on the tailbone and when it drains it takes months to stop. Luckily it's not inflammed right now. But my cheeks are fine. I think you should really check into having surgery. It sounds like you are too much pain to function. I hope you get to have surgery for it soon.
