How normal is it for an infection to drain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Draining Abscess: Yes , the body tries to throw off the toxins of an abscess. Depending where the infection is located determines the ability for the abscess to perforate the overlying tissues to drain the infection away. Medical supervision is always advised.
