Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

Contact the Drs': covering physician or call a different physician for evaluation. You don't want to leave an abscess untreated for any length of time as the potential for serious complications could easily develop.

Hidradenitis : Hidradenitis suprativa. Seek medical help from a general surgeon, plastic surgeon, or dermatologist. Sometimes laser hair removal helps. Hygiene is most important.
