I have been applying this cream on the abscess due to Anal Fistula (bhagandar). Earlier used to apply it without pressure to the abscess – It did not help as much.
Now after 15-20 days, I am applying the Mahatiktalepam with pressure to the wound and trying to get the medicine in the tract of the fistuala. I have a burning/itchy feeling for about 30 minutes. I do this after sitz bath. Is it ok to apply pressure and try to get the medicine in the tract of ano or should I not apply pressure? I am feeling this is helping as there is no puss or issues with draining from the abscess.
