Hi @Rachel this is a common question! Abscesses are like large boils or collections of pus. Ultimately they represent an infection which may require antibiotics or in some cases a procedure to drain out the pus to encourage healing and mitigate against recurrence. It would be best to see your local GP or General Surgeon for a physical assessment and advice on the best course of action based on your individual needs.
