A nodule in the perineum that has been dripping blood daily for two weeks after an injection is something that really needs a doctor's attention. That's not a typical healing timeline, and persistent bleeding like this could point to a more serious issue or risk of infection.

A nodule in the perineum that has been dripping blood daily for two weeks after an injection is something that really needs a doctor's attention. That's not a typical healing timeline, and persistent bleeding like this could point to a more serious issue or risk of infection.
Please reach out to your healthcare provider or visit an urgent care or emergency department as soon as possible. While you're waiting to be seen, here are some general steps to manage the area carefully:
- Apply firm, gentle pressure to the site for about 20 minutes to help slow the bleeding
- Keep the area clean using gentle soap and water, always washing hands first
- Use sterile, absorbent dressings to soak up drainage and protect the wound
- Avoid tight clothing — loose-fitting clothes reduce friction in a very sensitive area
Do not attempt to squeeze, drain, or use needles on the nodule yourself, as this can cause serious infection. The perineum is a particularly sensitive and tricky area to heal, so professional wound care guidance is really important here. Two weeks of daily bleeding is beyond what should be managed at home alone.

Would recommend seeing a dermatologist who specializes in HS. Hopefully, you can quickly get a referral to a plastic surgeon that can surgically drain and close the wound.

It's a very slight drip after wiping.
