I've have an abscess on my face for 2 weeks. it needs draining everyday. when will it heal? tried: hot compress, mupirocin cream and oral minocycline.

See your physician: If you have already used topical treatments and oral minocycline without improvement, then the antibiotic needs to be changed. Please see your physician immediately.
