Does anyone have any experience with an abscess that keeps flaring up meaning antibiotics are required please? It’s delaying treatment and I just want to know if it’s possible it could go away.
thank you
Hi. This is going to sound weird but is it an external or internal abscess? I had an infected internal collection of fluid after my op which they sometimes referred to as an abscess?
Oh I see. It’s hard to say really as I’m not medically trained nor know the circumstances of the abscess but I really hope it starts to heal soon and their treatment can begin
Take care
