A member asked:

After an infection from an ingrown hair that healed up i still have a little lump there it's been about two weeks how long until it goes down

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Abscess: May be reactive tissue which will eventually disappear or granuloma which can persist. If the infection was not totally cleared, this may be an abscess, which will eventually become evident without drainage.
