A member asked:

Had an abscess drained on my inner thigh yesterday and today it is a hardish lump.is this the normal way an abscess heals and howlong for it togo away?

Should be OK.: While short-term follow-up with your local doctor would be wise, this could be the collapsed abscess cavity that you’re feeling. Assuming all of the liquid was removed from the cavity, it will scar down so that it won’t grow into another abscess, but you’ll likely feel this bump forever.
