Had Skin Abscess. Having Small Hard Bump On Same Spot. Will Fucidin Cream Helps To Heal?

Hi, I had a boil/ skin abscess about 1 n half cm big it was drained by a nurse but now I still have a small hard bump left there. It doesn t hurt but it s right on my face would Fucidin cream help this go away? How long will this take to heal? It kind of softens when I apply heat to it but then it s the same after. Thanks

Hello,
Thanks for the query.

You might have developed furuncles.

These are deep bacterial infections.

Fucidin cream may help you

but the choice of antibiotics should be based on culture and sensitivity tests.

This will help in permanent cure.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
