[|Human|] Hi Doc Im from South AfricaHad develop a abscess on the inside of my thigh on the lateral of my groin area.The abscess develop 5 days ago.Due to the embarrassment to go to a doctor I sarted myself on antibiotic (flucloxacillin 250mg 3day.Yesterday I went to dr as the boil had rupture aand were very painfulAlthought the boil is draining it are still hard and I thought that the GP will further dran it by lancing it.The Doc prescribe macpen(combination of amoxicillin &Fluclox) and put me off due to difficult in walkin due to site of boil.My concern is the smell of pus as my underclothes are getting soaked althought theres some sort of relieve.It really embarrashing.My other concern s that the boil is draining so slow.Just want get it over with therefore I was thinking that the doctor will further lance the thing for quicker drainage. He suggest that I must do the pressing on the boil to drain it further - is this ok.Or do you think Im paranoid.lol.Thanks Doc From: Freddie
[|AI|]  Hello, THX to contact us. We wish you best health at Chat Doctor. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that continue with the Chat Doctor.  You can press it to remove excess of discharge but be sure your hands are washed properly before you do it. It cannot be lanced to some extent after this it won't be possible to lance it more. Further, lancing will cause a deep mark on the skin while having little benefit. You can also discuss for the newsprint powder which is antibiotic powder over the boil. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Than. Chat Doctor Infectious disease specialist
