She didn't say anything that would actually cause that to pop up! Honestly, my mom is convinced it’s just because of my underwear! Do you guys think that’s even a possibility?

So, I’ve actually been dealing with this for over a year now, but I kept putting off going to the doctor—classic me, right? But then things took a turn for the worse, and once I started seeing blood every single day, I realized I couldn't ignore it anymore and finally had to go find out what was actually going on!
I ended up heading to the emergency room in Washington, D.C., and honestly, the staff there were just so incredibly kind and helpful!
Now, my doctor has me wearing this surgical gauze that I'm strictly forbidden from removing until my follow-up appointment. Let me tell you, trying to take a shower every day has turned into this ridiculous daily obstacle course of acrobatics, and I have absolutely no clue how much longer I'll have to deal with this!

It’s right on my backside, way up high! Now I’m heading in every other day just to get the dressings changed. I actually saw my doctor today, and she was super encouraging—said it’s looking really good and that we can get this thing healed up, though she wouldn't promise it won't pop back up again. Honestly, if there's a chance it might return, I don't quite get why they aren't just sending me straight to surgery right now!
Did you deal with it coming back, or did you just go ahead and get the operation immediately?

Help me out here, everyone!! So, I ended up in the ER because things flared up, and since then, I've been getting poked with needles every other day. Now, I'm heading back to my primary doctor for dressing changes, but honestly? The problem is that every single doctor I talk to tells me something completely different!
When I was at the ER, they told me straight up that surgery was a total necessity. But then, when I went in for a follow-up exam, they actually acted like I was being ridiculous when I brought up the operation again! Then, on my third visit, some doctor tells me once more that I’ll definitely need surgery in the near future! Like, how am I supposed to know what to believe?!
So, they transferred my care to my regular doctor to handle the injections and the bandages. She thinks—and I quote—that I probably WON'T even need surgery!
It's pure chaos. One doctor tells me not to touch any kind of ointment, while another one insists on applying it myself! Then one says I should shower more often because the water helps, but another tells me I shouldn't even take the gauze off while showering and should just waterproof it with plastic wrap instead!
I mean, how is an ordinary person like me supposed to figure this out?!😢
