Incision : It's is possible that if the abscesses are occurring at her incision site, that she has what we call a granuloma. This is an area of chronic inflammation from an incision that can become infected over and over again. If she has this, it will need to be cauterized by her surgeon. I recommend a follow up with the surgeon who did the surgery.
