Greetings, I'm opening a discussion on behalf of my Aunt. She gets abscesses semi-frequently, but this latest one, on the back of her leg, is quite the doozie. It formed about a week ago and has been worsening ever since. She's tried a few different methods of dealing with it, drying it out, pricking & draining, multiple different lotions & solutions (including a mustard seed poultice, solarcaine etc.), to no avail. It's grown sizeably in comparison to others she's had in the past and we just aren't sure what to do next. Antibiotics are completely out of the equation as she has a breath-test coming up in regards to her stomach and isn't allowed antibiotics prior. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
I should mention, it's roughly the size of a Canadian Quarter (25 cents)
