Get treatment: Don't fool around, the abcess is most likely causing septicemia, barrels in the blood system that can result in additional illness.

Tiny vs mid vs large: Tiny abscesses can sometimes resolve with heat applied to the area. The small abscess will come to a head/drain spontaneously & may self heal. Once they become dime sized or larger they usually need to be opened surgically, drained & reamed out followed by meds. Unless it is tiny you need to seek help before it progresses to something worse. Hospitalization for serious complications is possible.
