Abscess drain: the abscess may have to be opened wider to promote drainage and needs to be cultured to rule out bacterial infection or resistant bacteria.

See doctor: Since this is an area prone to contamination, you need to consult your doctor ASAP because a spread of the infection into the blood stream can be life-threatening. In addition, one needs to make sure that there is no fistula present. Don't wait.
