Our skilled healthcare professionals offer safe, sterile drainage procedures to reduce pain, eliminate infection, and support quick healing.
What Is an Abscess?
An abscess is a localized infection beneath the skin that results in a swollen, red, and often painful lump filled with pus. It may be warm to the touch and can cause fever or discomfort if left untreated. Abscesses often occur due to clogged hair follicles, sweat glands, or minor skin injuries that become infected.
What Is Incision and Drainage (I&D)?
Incision and Drainage is a minor in-office procedure used to treat abscesses. It involves:
- Cleaning the affected area
- Applying local anesthesia for your comfort
- Making a small incision to release the built-up pus
- Draining the infection
- Cleaning and packing the wound if necessary
- Applying a sterile dressing and providing aftercare instructions
The procedure is typically quick, and most patients experience immediate relief from pressure and pain once the pus is drained.
Symptoms That May Indicate an Abscess:
- Painful, swollen lump on the skin
- Redness or warmth in the area
- Visible pus or drainage
- Fever or chills (in severe cases)
- Tenderness or throbbing sensation
