“Which doctor do I need?”
I have a perineal abscess. It isn't very painful yet I'd like to nip it in the bud, but I'm not sure of what type of specialist I should be looking for. And if the abscess is small enough, can it be done in an out patient setting?

Hi,
I would recommend an appointment with a local dermatologist. If small, some abscesses may respond well to a localized steroid injection.
