Hi

Welcome to icliniq

You surgical site wound seems healthy and is healing well. At this stage I think the pain would also be manageable. It would be best if you can upload your surgery records and the doctor's advice, before I can suggest you an alternative. Still, one thing that is surely beneficial and not going to do any harm is Sitz bath (as would already be instructed by your surgeon), So continue those, till this thing heals. You can use any plain sterile gauge piece to cover it after the sitz bath. Do not use cotton directly on the wound site. I hope that helps. Do follow up with surgical records.

Probable diagnosis:

Fistula-in Ano Status: Post operative: ? Fistulectomy
