A member asked:
Hi there, i have an extremely painful boil or abscess under my breast. not sure if i need to get it removed surgically or what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get it removed: The abscess needs to be surgically drained as if it continues to fester, it can enter the blood stream and cause a systemic infection and shock.
