Hello,
Kindly mention the size of abscess. For abscess, if size is small than initially antibiotic course is prescribed. But if abscess is not resolved by antibiotic then incision and drainage might be needed along with antibiotic course. Then after dressing is done for minimum week until it heals. Consult surgeon for examination and let surgeon decide if incision and drainage are required or not.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
