Common Questions and Answers about Abscess boil lance
abscess
Hello,
Ingrown hair or boil also referred to as a skin abscess, is a localized infection deep in the skin. A boil generally starts as a reddened, tender area. Over time, the area becomes firm and hard. Eventually, the center of the abscess softens and becomes filled with pus. Finally, the pus "forms a head," which can be surgically opened or spontaneously drain out through the surface of the skin.
Apply warm compresses on the boil and keep the area clean.

Hello,
Boils are caused by infection of the hair follicle by staph aureus. Apply warm compresses on the boil and keep the area clean. Drainage of the boil is done only when it becomes soft and forms a head. Take some over the counter pain reliever and consult a doctor for examination and antibiotics prescription. If there are recurrent boils, then please get your blood sugar levels estimated.
Hi,
How are you? A boil, also referred to as a skin abscess, is a localized infection deep in the skin. It starts as a reddened, tender area that becomes firm and hard. Eventually, the center of the abscess softens and becomes filled with pus. There are several different types of boils depending on the location: furuncle, carbuncle, cystic acne, hidradenitis suppurativa, or pilonidal cyst.
If you doctor feels it is required, he may prescribe an antibiotic for the infection and may also need to lance the bump if it is ready but a head is not forming.
The bacteria can travel into the body, so do not neglect it.
Best wishes.
About 10-12 years ago I started getting abscesses on my inner thigh and underarms. They hurt but I was always able to find the soft center and lance/drain myself. I was diagnosed with hidradentist suppurtiva at 22. Now I only get abscesses on my right butt cheek. I have had 9 drained in a doctors office/ER. I have tried 27 oral antibiotics, finding allergies to 6. I recently finished 1000mg/10 days of Clindomycin after having a third abscess drained in less than a week.
I have not across any who has had a needle injected to clear rubbish out of a cyst, boil or abscess. If it does become large, the doctor can lance it to drain the rubbish out.
The doctor will always examine the "lump" and will make the decision whether an antibiotic should be prescribed. Boils and abscesses do start from having a small pimple and infection can spread inwards which can become very dangerous and life threatening.
I went to the doctor 2day 6/15/2011 because I had a Large swollen hard bump on the left side of my vagina wall & the pain was gettin unbearable I could no longer sit so the doc cut it open & drained it. It was diagnose to be a VAGINAL ABSCESS so now the pain is gone the swelling went down a LIL bit but its still there & very swollen (YUK) ...... ? Do u think the swelling will eventually go down & my VAGINA will go back to normal .....
I have a reoccurring. Bartholin abscess how do I get rid if it permanently? I have another one now and am feeding the doctor because I know they will painfully lance it open again. Please help!
Are you sure it's a boil? I once though I had one and when I saw my doctor it turned out to be a staph infection. He told me I probably got it at the gym.

Boil on buttocks is usually due to plugged sweat glands that become infected or by an ingrown hair.
t a big deal. If the boil is large enough or is starting to form into an abscess, your doctor will first numb the boil and the surrounding area and then make a small incision to allow the pus to drain.The incision is then usually packed with gauze and an antiseptic to allow further drainage.
In the meantime,till you see your doctor,use warm damp compresses for 20 minutes three to four times a day as it may help draw the boil out.
Take care....
my grand mother has a very painful boil inside her vagina it is so bad that it causes her to faint sometimes from the pain please help us if you know what this is because doctors in uganda a just telling her to get it cut out without telling her what it is.
If the abscess has not come to a head yet, soak in a hot bath to help it come to a head. If the abscess keeps flaring up, it is likely that the root had not been removed or there is a blockage of the gland itself. If any abscess root is left, will just flare up again.
Marsupialisation is a small operation that is the traditional treatment used to treat a Bartholin's cyst or abscess. This operation creates a small new permanent opening for fluid to drain out of the gland.
I have had what I believe to be a vagina boil inside of my vagina lip. I've had them on the outside many times but this one is much more tender and painful. I cannot get it to drain and it is large enough to hurt when walking. Is there anything i can do? I hate going to the doctor but this is painful so that may be my last resort.
I would let a professional lance it. If that stuff gets in your blood stream it can be bad.
I've had an abscess or boil on my upper back between my spine and shoulder blade that doesn't seem to be coming to a head but instead drying up or being reabsorbed into the skin. It's about 1 - 2 cm in diameter, pink and a little soft (can feel some fluid inside) but not painful and not getting larger or smaller and I'm having what seems like muscular shooting pain up my neck and down my spine on that same side.
Get to the doctor. Any lump should be checked out. This sounds like a boil and it must be rather painful. The doctor will determine what's going on. If it is a boil they may lance it and give you antibiotics or you may be just given antibiotics to see if that clears it up. In the meantime hot compresses for 20 minutes as often as you can do it may draw out the pus.
Could also be an abscess, warm compresses may help relieve that. If it doesn't subside than your family doc may lance and drain it. You will usually feel instant relief after that.
Hello,
Since you have not mentioned any other symptom, from your symptoms however I would like to rule out the possibility of a boil. A boil, also referred to as a skin abscess, is a localized infection deep in the skin.
Apply warm compresses on the boil and keep the area clean. Drainage of the boil is done only when it becomes soft and forms a head. You can apply Neosporin till that time.
