I have an abcess next to my navel ring. I went to the doctor and she just told me to put hot compresses on it and clean it. It still hasn t gone away and it s been here for some time but I don t want to go back to the doctor because she wasn t any help the first time
I can understand your concern for abscess next to naval. I can get that the area is quite infected and requires antibiotic treatment. In all your kind of cases I generally give a course of oral antibiotic such as cefixime with clavulinic acid or an antibiotic with culture and sensitivity of the pus.
I suggest you to meet a surgeon preferably or dermatologist to get the antibiotics prescribed. A pain killer tablet will help you a lot in reducing the inflammation. You can take further guidance from a dermatologist. Take care.
