had scar tissue from an abscess removed from my arse cheek last Tuesday, been to the practice nurse to get my dressing and packing changed daily, taking all my pills as prescribed and i'm eating a high protein diet.
anybody have any idea on recovery time, i'm bored shitless already?
cheers

Had the same thing, 6 weeks district nurse, and then another 3 weeks visiting surgery every day, for a clean and repack, painful and it weeps.
Biggest risk is an infection ,dont google MRSA,
Best wishes, its a pain in the arse, but takes time to recover, they cant stitch it and cant allow it to heal up with out packing, heals from inside out.

I had the same thing shortly after Xmas, was off the bike until mid-february. No point in risking infection until it's fully healed over. It seemed to take an age to heal from the inside-out, but started to close up quite quickly after 3-4 weeks. Re-infection is your biggest worry.
just enjoy the fact you have a lady copping a feel of your arse for a bit longer...
Flesh wound should be quicker than 6 weeks
Mine was a hole which had to be packed regularly by a nurse. I've had it twice, it does not heal quickly.
cheers all, wound needs daily packing for the time being, with regard to a female "copping a feel" today it was bloke,
