Abscess removal packing
Common Questions and Answers about Abscess removal packing
abscess
I currently have been dealng with a recurrent subareolar breast abscess. I was first treated with ten days of keflex two times a day, in which it got better but then came back. Next I went to a breast surgeon and she performed incision and drainage and another ten days of keflex. The abscess still would not heal so I had surgery a few days ago in which the surgeon removed the abscess and I thnk some of the infected ducts.
On Sunday, I sought medical treatment at a local clinic as my doctors office was closed. They lanced, drained, and packed the abscess. The PA did things much differently than I've ever had done before. Firstly, he used no lidocaine or numbing medication, as he said it doesn't help. Let me tell you-this was much more excruciating than the other lances I've had done. Also, he didn't squeeze the pus out, he just let it drain on its own.
Please help anyone? 7 wks ago i got an abscess incision and drainage(jus next 2 anus) after being admitted to hospital it literally accured over a 3 day period with antibiotics having no effect, the insision was so small it made the packing of cavity the most painfull ordeal i have ever experienced..
Thank you. I'm thinking my abscesses are smaller, do those need packing? When I had my I&Ds I would have to leave packing (gauze) in for 24 hrs then I could remove it and change my dressing. And after that I didn't need to pack it again, just change the dressing (gauze). Once the pus leakage minimized, I used breast pads (like for breast feeding) because the tape over the gauze eventually irritated my skin and I hated pulling it off.
It can be an infected cyst or a hair follicle infection or an abscess or a tubercular abscess. You need to show this to a skin specialist and get a fine needle aspiration cytology done to find what the lump is. If it is tubercular, then it will need medical treatment for 6-9 months. If it is abscess or boil, it will need to be drained. It it is a cyst, it will need to be excised. Often doctors do a CT scan for diagnosis.
and must be watched carefully. Usually the packing remains inside the abscess for two days and then removed. When I returned they first removed the gauze which is not that painful, but then had to push on the wound to see if anymore pus came out..ouch! Then it was repacked again (again very painful, especially when using sissors to do it) because the wound was so deep and infected.
I appreciate the feedback on what they did about the abscess that was found when she came back to the hospital post-appendectomy. Now, the removal of the abscess and wound bandage changing is not enough. When they dealt with the abscess, they also needed to DRAIN the for-sure fluids that have collected in her abdomen AND they needed to DISINFECT the abdominal cavity, and then they should have put her in the ICU for 24-hr monitoring of her temperature, swelling, and signs of sepsis.

m 41yrs old, in reasonable fitness and health but have been diagnosed with a ruptured appendix and have had a drain/antibiotic therapy to clear up the infection and abscess. The appendix will be taken out in 4 weeks' time. What range of physical activity should I carry out in the interval? Would there be a risk of causing damage by lifting, bending, moderate gym exercise etc ?
Thanks..

Some stubborn cases of folliculitis have been responsive to laser-assisted hair removal. This process uses a laser to destroy the follicle. This reduces the scarring that results from folliculitis.
Let us know if you need any other information and consult a skin specialist if the lesion is persistent.

My abscesses have been chronic (luckily, I only get one, in one spot, however, it never seems to resolve; when it clears, one forms in the same area, usually from the area that hasn't healed underneath the skin) and if draining, can last for me anywhere from a week to several months - until I get my surgeon involved either for tubes (to keep the area open) and packing (to promote the area to heal without any "pockets" for another abscess to brew).
I believe Crown failures are common after 5 -15 years, simply because bacteria will get inside of the crown and have a field day with your tooth, all the while the bacteria are protected from removal, hidden by the crown. Many Dentists does not communicate this reality when they sell you on getting the crown. An Endodontics can do the root canal without removing the crown, they just drill through the crown, do the root canal and seal entry of the crown. Hope this helps.
I suffer from perianal abscess for the last two years. (Six), Now they want to do this surgery.
Can anyone give me their experiences with having one done. I don't or at least have never been tested for Crohn's.
Nothing seems to be working and am fearful another abscess is accumulating now. Doc has referred me to Mayo Clinic, has anyone gone that route and if so what is the process? I honestly would rather have the breast taken if I could get this all to stop. Any answers would be greatly appreciated.
After gall bladder surgery if you are having pain then liver studies should be done. The pain could be due to an abscess. A CT scan should be done. It can also be due to acidity and duodenal ulcer. Take a late night snack. Raise head end of bed. Take Omeprazole empty stomach in morning and an antacid gel at bedtime. Refrain from smoking, alcohol, fuzzy drinks and spicy food. Walking around also helps clear gas. It could also be muscle pull that can be treated by applying local analgesic creams.
The painful lumps in your right armpit could be a beginning localized infection like an abscess. There is a condition known as hidradenitis suppurativa where the infection commonly starts around hair follicles and sweat glands, resulting in multiple lumps and abscess formation. Most commonly affected areas are the axilla and inguinal areas.
It would be best to consult your doctor for proper evaluation and management.
Take care.
I tried everything !!! The only relief I got was from solarcaine-spray on your hand and wipe where it's sore....makes living livable. I have now had the surgery-worst part is the removal of the packing-hurt like the devil. It's been 6 days now, the pain is only there after a bowel movement , so I will stay on a stool softener, but each day it is less painful . Glad I had the surgery done. P.S. If you are having painful bowel movements, try toilet paper with vaseline-sure helps !!!
well I had surgery 5 weeks ago and one f my incisions got a huge abscess that had to be lanced today and now I need to take my pain medicine before I can change the packing so what I need to know is I took the 8mg suboxone 7 hours ago when can I take my pain medicine without getting sick and also being able to get pain relief??? Thank You for any and all answers!!!
