What Causes A Hole After Draining The Abscess?
So I have a bump that appeared last week maybe? at first it looked like a bite, and i shrugged it off. But now it has gotten really painful and that area had swelled and gone hard.This morning i noticed a white substance on the top. I compressed it with a hot towel etc and gently squeezed the area around it and I noticed puss and blood start to come out and then the hardness startedto go down. After getting as much out as I could, It has left like a hole? Im not sure what it is. Or how to help it heal.

Hi,
It seems that there might be having ingrown hair follicle infection leading to abscess formation.
Now it burst open and pus drained leaving hole on the part.
Clean the part with antiseptic lotion and dress it with antibiotic cream.
Do daily dressing after removing of pus if collected.
Ok and take care.
