Common Questions and Answers about Abscess symptoms incision
abscess
I just had a bartholin abscess surgically removed. I wanted to know when i could have sex again.
I had thyroid surgery last week and when the doctor tried to remove the nonabsorbable prolene stitch today, it snapped apart and most of it was left in the incision. I was told the only way to get it out was to "reopen the incision under general anesthetia." My other choice was to watch the incision as it heals to see if the prolene stitch (monofiliment) starts to come out by itself and could then be pulled out. They also said it would look OK cosmetically if it were left in.
I had them removed by laparoscopy, but the surgeon ended up having to make a lower abdominal incision to get the biggest cyst out and repair my ovaries (also the cyst ruptured during removal I was told). I went home the next day, then returned to the hospital 3 days later with severe abdominal pain and fever. I was diagnosed with a pelvic abscess and severe infection. After a week in the hospital, I was sent home with a picc-line in my arm and a drainage tube for the abscess.
May want to have a rectal- ultrasound to see where the abscess (fistula) is and find out if the abscess is gone. I'm on Medicaid and they covered the tests and surgeries.
One area is reddish purple and is an abscess, the other is darker dead skin from a healed abscess that I had previously had I&D twice. Because that particular incision is at the bottom of my breast it closes quickly after incisioin (within a week). Well from using the clay, a little bit of pus was allowed to drain out from a tiny tiny hole through the scar. I had noticed that the area was filling with pus, ONCE AGAIN.
I had glue on my incision and part of it was "torn out" when I took off my scarf one day... leaving a gaping hole in my neck. I cleaned it with soap and water and put first aid tape on it. I told my surgeon what had happened and what I did and he said, "good job." I would recommend you try the same, but if you see redness, feel warmth, or have abundant discharge, get an appt. w/your surgeon.
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....

Because the puss was kind of all over, I was put under anesthesia to have a small surgery incision and drainage. He made an incision on the side/edge of my areola. After it closed up and healed you couldn't see the scar, it totally blended in. Now the mass is back in the area again and this morning some drainage started leaking from that old scar. Hope everything is okay!
I went to my regular dentist on 1/13/06 and xrays showed a large abscess in tooth #10, as well as a smaller abscess in tooth #20. On 1/17/06 I had a RCT done on tooth #10, as well as an incision in the roof of my mouth behind that tooth to help extract the infection. On 1/19/06, I had a RCT done on tooth #20, with one 0.05mm post placed. I have been on Antibiotics since 1/13/06, taking Penicillin VK 500mg QID, so I'm now on my Eighth day of antibiotics.
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. My question is what is the likely hood that this will reoccur again, and im not sure if she removed all of my ducts or just the ones in the affected area.
May 15 I developed an abscess. They can't get me in to get the 2 teeth pulled until June 25th. The next day, my cheek was the size of a baseball and the meds weren't helping. I went to th ER. Dr numbed it, cut a slit in it, gave me dilaudid &zophran, &sent me home with vicodin. RELIEF!
June 3 it was back. I went to the dentist June 5. He couldn't see me. They called in 825mg amoxicillin 2x a day &the weakest dose of vicodin.
Is it the tonsils or adenoids? It could also be quinsy, which is peritonsillar abscess that is there is pus collection around the tonsils. This is an emergency and needs to be treated with IV antibiotics. Sometimes it warrants incision and drainage of the abscess. It is also an indication for tonsillectomy. So, continue with the antibiotics. Keep monitoring his symptoms, if worsening, then consult your doctor. Good Luck with his therapy.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
My 1 year old grandson had developed a Perianal Abscess and had a surgery under GA. Some 20 ml. pus was removed from a 5 cm deep cavity near anus at 01 O'Clock position and 1 cm away.The surgeon put a drain pipe which did not stay more than 1 day and then it was not replaced.He was given antibiotics for 2-3 days and kept under observation and sent home after 5 days.He was advised Betadine sitz bath after each poo. No other medication was prescribed.
Diagnostic considerations include focal edema, seroma, hematoma, and/or abscess. If pain/swelling persists and/or worsens, inform your surgeon who may decide to order additional laboratory and/or imaging tests.
I had an abscess in my right breast 10 years ago and it left a little lump after it healed. Two weeks ago I developed an abscess in the same spot. My GP recommended a week of antibiotics (Augmentin) and it started to drain on its own two days back. I feel a thickened area which hasn't gone down. Should I be worried? The abscess continues to drain slowly and I have covered it with sterilized gauze. Please help.
Bacterial skin infections can be spread by shared cosmetics or washcloths, close human contact, or by contact with pus from a boil or carbuncle. Treatment includes antibiotics and incision and drainage and do not touch or pick them up. Also apply warm compresses on the lump. If however the symptoms persist then get lymphadenopathy ruled out from your doctor.
Everything seems to be healed for the most part, but the skin around and where the abscess/incision was made is very dark, purplish black at this point, and I don't know if I should be concerned about it or not.
Also, I have a small red bump that has developed almost directly beside where the original abscess was. It does not hurt whatsoever, but the fact that I know what it could possibly turn into has me very paranoid. I have been keeping the area cleaned and applying Neosporin.

So very happy to find this group. Was diagnosed GM after 10 weeks of unsuccessful treatment. I've been on 6 courses of antibiotics, 2 FNAs, and an I&D. I have three abscess that were hard, but after a week have become mushy. The skin seems to have a different texture. Does this mean they are coming to the surface and are about to burst? Any advice would be appreciated.
Hello,
This persistent abscess that does not get cleared with antibiotics is called Parulis as this elevated nodule is actually an opening of fistulous tract from some chronic abscess either in association with tooth (periapical abscess) or gum abscess or could be sinus in your case.
As I can not do physical exam hence can not say for sure about the origin of the abscess. It needs x-ray and second opinion of a dentist who can examine.
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..
