A member asked:
Abscess in pubic region popped two days ago, it's healing.. i can still feel nodule under skin though. what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If it is healing: then continue warm compresses. A nodule under the skin can be a cyst or still an infection. If lesion not completely gone in 2-4 weeks see your dermatologist. If it worsens then get in sooner.
