Abscess : Apply warm compresses regularly throughout the day. Let a doctor know if pain gets worse or if you have fevers. If there is redness around the site and it starts to spread, you need to be evaluated quickly. Don't try to cut it but if it starts to drain, ok to gently squeeze with a warm compress.
