A member asked:
How soon after an abscess is drained does it flatten out again? i had an abscess drained from my pubic area a couple of days ago and it is still hard and raised. no pus came out from i&d, just blood. is it normal to still feel hard & raised? no pain?

Two days is too soon to have all swelling clear up. Return to your doctor if it starts to enlarge again, or if no better after a week or two.
