Can a perianal abscess be under the ribs?

Answer:

No, it cannot. Here is why...

Peri = prefix signifying around
Anal = pertaining to the anus, a.k.a. the "butt hole."
Abscess = a localized collection of pus.

So a perianal abscess is a localized collection of pus located around the anal opening.
