Suggest Treatment For An Abscess At The End Of The Spine

Hello,

I doubt the formation of abscess in my hip (at the end of spine). There was no pus formation till now but the skin was swelled. I am afraid it would turn into an injury. Please tell me if it can be cured with antibiotics or I should undergo treatment .

If you have an abscess, it would be best to be surgically treated.

It is difficult for antibiotics to penetrate an abscess, and surgical drainage is generally best.
