How Long Will It Take To Cure The Abscess On Ankle?
Had abscess on my lower ankle. Went to Dr and they put me on two antibiotics. Went back after swelling and they had cut into it. Now the skin around the once was lump is blackish. The skin looks bunched up as well, is that normal in the healing process? How long do I continue to bandage the abscess?

Hello!
Thank you or trusting HCM. As per your history your ankle abscess is in late stage of healing. All you do now is continue same treatment for few more days and maintain proper wound toilet.
