How Can An Open Abscess In The Groin Area Be Treated?
Hi, I recently experienced an abcess pop on my groin area located on the underwear line. Now it is an open wound. I tried keeping it covered with bandages, but the preassure of the bandage makes it worse. There hasn t been any progress regarding the wound to close up and heal. I don t know if I should allow it to air out or not.
