Hello,
Thanks for writing to HCM
Recovering time depends on each person's immunity. Since you are still having pus discharging from the site it will take few more days for complete recovery. If you want quick recovery I would suggest you to meet a surgeon or dermatologist in person, they will remove your pus which will help in quick recovery.If the abscess is very small just apply neosporin ointment in the affected area.
Regards.
