A member asked:
If an abcess is punctured will it cause bleeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe, but....: That is not a reason not to drain an abscess. Often a large amount of inflammation accompanies an abscess, and there can be some bleeding, but a true abscess must be drained, and the bleeding typically controlled with pressure.
