An anal (perianal) abscess is an infected cavity filled with pus found near the anus or rectum. An anal fistula is a track or tunnel between the skin on the outside of the buttock/anal area and the anal canal on the inside.
Perianal abscess is a superficial infection that appears as a tender red lump under the skin near the anus. The infection occurs when bacteria gets trapped in the crypt glands that line the anal canal. The bacteria and fluid (pus) build up and becomes a lump that is red and painful (like a “pimple”).
Perianal abscesses are the most common type of anorectal abscesses. These abscesses can cause significant discomfort for patients. They are located at the anal verge and if left untreated, can extend into the ischioanal space or intersphincteric space since these areas are continuous with the perianal space.
