Hubby went to the er to get rid of an abscess below his navel , the doc cut it a little & squeezed it but it's now a hard bump. is this normal?

Depends: If it is improving, then it may resolve on its own, but if it starts to become bigger and painful and has increased warmth and redness, then, he should be reevaluated within 1-2 days, I hope this helps
