An abscess can be a painful and potentially serious condition that requires prompt medical attention.

Our experienced medical team is committed to providing high-quality care in a comfortable and welcoming environment, ensuring your recovery is swift and smooth.

What is an Abscess and Why is I&D Necessary?

An abscess is a localized infection that results in a collection of pus, usually caused by bacteria. It can occur anywhere on the body and often presents as a swollen, red, and painful lump. If left untreated, an abscess can grow larger, become more painful, and potentially lead to severe complications, including the spread of infection.

Incision and Drainage (I&D) is a minor surgical procedure that involves making a small cut in the abscess to drain the accumulated pus. This procedure helps relieve pain, reduce swelling, and promote healing by removing the source of infection.

When Do You Need I&D Abscess Services?

Seek I&D abscess services if you experience any of the following:

• A swollen, red, and painful lump on your skin
• Increased warmth or tenderness around the affected area
• Pus or fluid drainage from the lump
• Fever or chills, which may indicate the infection is spreading
• Abscesses that do not improve with home care or antibiotics
