How is a subcutaneous abscess treated?
Subcutaneous abscesses can be treated through daily local care, local heat therapy (e.g., warm compresses), topical antibacterial ointments, oral anti-infective medications, and incision and drainage to evacuate accumulated pus. These interventions help control local inflammation, drain the purulent exudate, and alleviate symptoms such as swelling, pain, and fever. If persistent high fever or rapid abscess spread occurs, prompt medical evaluation and treatment at a hospital are recommended.
