Glad you are seeing your doc soon. Wondering if your wound is still not healing properly? And/or you have an abscess or infection. Usually drainage is a very good sign that the wound is trying to heal. So there is a bit of positive in this yucky bum mess.
When you see your doc, also ask to see an ostomy or wound nurse. I had a nurse help me with a system to protect my bum for all the yucky wound drainage. It was a "pain" to put on and manage, but it sure helped my poor bum skin. If you can't get to a wound/ostomy nurse to help you, let me know and I can write up what I was doing and what products I was using. I wouldn't suggest hydrocort creme unless your doc approved it. Mine was more of a "barrier" method.. with dressings, etc.. But it did help.
PS. these wounds can take forever to heal. I am on almost 14months now. But just saying that to let you know.. that it is not abnormal.
