Suggest Remedy For Abcess In The Abdomen

I have a recocurring abcess on my lower abdomen. Its is quite painful and doesnt seem to be softening up. I'm now on day 6 with it. Some of the swelling has gone down but the skin has become sort of broken and dry on top where you would expect to see the head of it form. I seems to get one of these a couple times a year, usually when I'm particullarly stressed out (not sure if there is a correlation there).
Anyway I was wondering what I can do about this? Like I stated I have gotten them in the past and they do eventually go away. They are just really painful and usually leave a scare as a reminder. Thank you

Hollow,
You have mentioned abscess,but have not mentioned any approx size, its the pus filled cavity,mainly abscess tends to spread and invade surrrounding tissue..you will have to do some blood investigations . You will need to get it incised and drained by a doctor. And startup with some antibiotic ..so please get an opinion from a surgeon.
Hope this information helps you
