As a wound nurse I see abscesses every day. When we do them, we need to make sure the skin does not close b4 all the the infection resolves. so our incicions are in the shape of a + or linear with an elipse of tissue removed. by doing this it keeps the sides apart to facilitate drainage. Irrigate it, and pack it daily. any soap and water works fine. Peroxide it fine to use the 1st time but after that all the peroxide does is kill heathy granular tissue. The Antibiotic of choice for most MRSA infections is SEPTRA DS/Clindamycin. problem w/these is they cause bad diahrrea. By the way I think this is my first post. Wound care nurse Ft.

I am in the middle of dealing with one of these, NOW... Started a week ago, and I ignored it for a week.... Momma gave me "heck" the whole time, and she finally drug me down to the local "Quak in the Box" where "The Butcher from Bosnia" opened it up and drained it all, yesterday.... It fells 100% better today, and I go in for a Repak, in an hour. This is only the Second time in my Long Life that I have had to deal with one of these. You would have thought that I would have learned, the first time.... Doh.... Oh well....

Oh yea. I figured that out 45 years ago.... and my built-in medical consultant..... Just got back from the first Followup.... The Butcher of Bosnia did his thing and my back is very very sensitive.... but 100% better than before..... the Physical trauma recedes fairly quickly... a couple of hours from now, I will be feeling much better... Mommas is saying this is my "Just Desserts" for ignoring her advice for a week..... and she is of course exactly right....
