[|Human|] I have a history of axilla abcess, some have been treated with meds, others have required surgical intervention.  I have had one under my left arm for a few weeks now and antibiotics did not work.  My doctor suggested that surgery would be the answer.  I delayed going back, hoping it would go away, which it has almost overnight!  My concern is that the abcess has burst, hence the quick reduction in size.  I am 9 weeks pregnant and am now worried that this could affect my fetus???
[|AI|]  Hello, I have gone through your query and understood your concern. The fact that you have the tendency of acquiring repeated infections in the maxilla suggests lowered immunity which should have been evaluated for prior to the pregnancy. Pregnancy itself causes lowered immunity and so, the incidence of abscess formation may rise. The burst abscess may not otherwise harm the fetus except for the fact that the infectious organism causing the abscess may traverse in to the uterine cavity. Please get proper medical attention immediately to prevent further infection. Hope your query has been clarified. Take care.
