This depends on why the absess is there in the first place, is it a bed sore, caused by another disease etc.....

These type of "sores" can cause the spread of infection throughout the body/organs as well as it usually spreads out from the area it is in - especially if the absess is not being cared for properly and medicated.

How does an acute abscess develop into a chronic abscess?

Your body will fight the infection, building a thin wall around the end of the root, and containing the pus that is leaking . In many cases the initial pain and swelling go away, but the chronic abscess can become acute again very quickly if your immune system becomes run-down.


Where is the gluteal region of the body?

PCH Answer: The Buttocks Gluteus maximus is the largest and most superficial muscle in the buttock. It is attached to the Ilium bone( part of the pelvis), the Sacrum, the side of the Coccyx via the Sacrotuberus ligament and apponueroses ( the Gluteal apponeurosis and the Erector spinae).

Yellow smelly discharge from a sore in my butt crack?

might be a staph infection.. you should probably see a dr. Don't wait! ---- While this may be a staphylococcal infection, there is no guarantee. There are many other conditions that can cause similar symptoms. Where is the sore? Is it at the "top" of your gluteal cleft? Has it been there long, or is this a relatively new problem? Have you had this before? Sores/swelling at the region where your gluteal cleft meets your lower back are commonly pilonidal cysts or abscesses. These are congenital and frequently recurrent. They can become inflamed and quite painful. They require drainage and packing. If they are persistent or recur frequently, surgery can be performed to clear out all the debris that causes the abscesses. Other possible causes could be fistulas, furuncles, folliculitis, as well as buttock abscesses. Concerning symptoms for which you should see your physician soon would be fevers, increasing size of the "sore," and if the description of the pilonidal cyst/abscess fits your problem. Otherwise, you can try warm packs, warm baths, and seeing if you can draw the fluid out yourself. If you cannot, then see your physician.
