Abscess won't heal
Common Questions and Answers about Abscess won't heal
abscess
Some people are saying it might be a caker sore or an abscess. The bump became bigger and I noticed a white substance inside of the bump. It grew bigger than with the help of hot water and salt it began to drain. First question what is this on my gum? How long does it take to heal? and Should I go to the dentist after it fully heals?
Omg, I have no idea, but the sooner your cousin gets this bunny to a Vet, the better! I will be honest and say, I've never seen an abscess before, so *maybe*.
Please forgive me, but I am having a hard time telling what part of the bunny I am looking at???
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.
i have 6 setons in right now, but my holes won't heal even with medication...how are you coping?
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. I so do ot want to have to go through this again and the daily changing of packing amd repacking is very painful.
I have a groin abscess that was lanced 2 months ago. Have been on two rounds of antibiotics and still hasn't healed w/air exposure. Any suggestions?
Well this does rather sound like an abscess. The important thing is to bathe it frequently with warm water and antiseptic, and try to keep the wound open, so that it will keep draining out all the gunk and pus. Gently squeeze it each time, to see if any more needs to come out. But don't let it heal over until you are 100% sure the abscess is clear.
It might be wise to take her in to be checked by the vet.
Hi may i say the Shin does take month's to heal , i also had a bad scrape on the Shin and wouldn't heal , but given time it will , as i say it will heal; but is terribly slow place to heal , Take care ,
As Margot said, it may be a cyst or abscess. I don't know where you live, or what diseases are present in your area, but if it is a cyst or abscess, then it isn't contagious. But do be careful to wash your hands with hot water and soap after handling it ir bathing the wound, etc, as sometimes infections like this can cause stomach upsets, if the bacteria are transferred to your mouth or food etc.
At one month, he is really young and tough in his little way...yet also very vulnerable.
Finished all the clymdamycin and the abscess is still there. Endontist says it could take months to heal and sent me on my way. I feel like I need a second opinion. I still have a pea sized abscess on my gums idk what to do. He says it's healing but i don't see a change. It seems unsafe to have a drainy puss filled abscess on my gums.
I have no idea what it is. It won't heal. It's right below my armpit. It's very red, itches, and hurts to touch. It bleeds a lot too and I end up using a lot of band-aids and no one knows why they disappear, but I'm too embarrassed to tell anyone. I know I should, please don't tell me that, just give me ideas of what it is. It's quite large, and very leaky. It's always oozing something.
I'm 35eks,6 days n I went to the hospital and the doctor said I had a abscess n they had to drain it and put a small catheter in. I didn't know what was about to happen, it hurt like crazy is all I can say. If anyone has something like this get it check right away because it will only get worse.
I use my instincts when it comes to pus-filled small boils or abscesses. At first, when my dog got one of these, I took her straight to the vet because I was nervous that if I gently squeezed it out I might cause the infection to spread. When I got there, that was basically what the vet did. But they used veterinary antiseptic, (You could use Iodine perhaps?) -soaked a pad with this, rubbed it in, and squeezed until all the pus was out for sure. Then bathed it again with the antiseptic.
It turned out to be an anal abscess which had formed at the site of the cut (my surgeon had never seen this before - don't you just love that!)
He gave me antibiotics which made me worse and did not heal up the infection. Finally I had to get the abscess drained - another day surgery and the week after the surgey I was in a lot of pain again. Gradually the next three weeks, the pain subsided and I felt great.
My 13 year.old beagle was attacked by a dog on the beach while we were out of the country last June 2012. Long story short, the wound (on her neck) wasn't.properly cleaned and being that we were in a third world country, vets weren't incredibly helpful. An abscess formed about a week after,was drained by the vet only to reform a couple weeks later.
I presume that you have finished the course of the antibiotics about a week ago.
If that is the case, make an appointment with your doctor. Although the abscess is draining the "plug" needs to be removed. If the "plug" of the abscess has not come out, the abscess will continue to fester.
As the abscess is oozing slowly means that you have an open wound and because of that you are unable to apply a magnesium sulphate drawing ointment.
On Jan. 16 I woke up with this awful pimple/abscess on my chin. I left it alone all day, and it got worse. When I came home I cleaned it. (I've posted picture of the progression on my profile/album). Since then, I still have a lump on my face that won't go away. It hasn't changed in size at all and I don't know what to do about it. Any ideas on what may be going on and/or what I can do about it? I've tried pimple cream but it didn't work.
Thanks!
I have had three Sterile Abscess due to Fat Necrosis. I packed these wounds for several months. During that time, I got bacterial infection.
the Dr did a second surgery to remove dead tissue and re-arrange tissues back in August 09. Since then i had two Abscess. I also have a new one opened under my nipple last week. It's very painful. There is a huge lump around my nipple area which I think is Fat Necrosis.
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.
I have a recurring abscess on my right breast for almost 2 years now. I remember that I have a "white head/black head" on my chest so I picked it and removed it and I think it's where it all started. The abscess I got on the first spot on my breast lasted for 9 months (I had maybe 4 recurrence) but it healed on its own without taking any antibiotics or creams.
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.
