What Kinda of Doctor Do i See for a Cyst near my a**s?

Question

Its getting pretty painful, tried to pop it 3-4 times with no luck, can somebody tell me what kind of doctor should i look up?

Answer 1

Several docs can deal with this (a peri-rectal abscess): a general surgeon; an ER doc; a GP may (if they do office procedures), a dermatologist may as well (depending on their focus)

Answer 2

Just go to a Dermatologist, they deal with stuff like that all the time.  Don't worry, they will cover your private areas with a surgical drape for modesty.  Better to take care of it sooner than later so you don't get an infection.  

Answer 3

I think you could go to your primary care doctor.  If he couldn't take care of it he would refer you to the right doctor. Sounds painful.

Answer 4

Find one that won't giggle while he lances it.Any general practicioner should be able to lance it in his office.
