3rd day of i&d abscess treatment. still pus poured out after medic was changing dress. is there something wrong with it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Change more often: If there is still pus coming from the wound, you need to change the dressing more frequently. If that doesn't help, the incision to drain it may not be big enough. If that's the case, then it will need to be opened up more. See a general surgeon for an exam soon. This week preferably. Hope this helps!
