What Could Cause Red Painful Abscess Post Partum?
I am 5 weeks post partum from a c sestion. I had developed an absess it was hard and red, painful and swollen,
it drained on wednesday, but is now still hard, red and warm, but in a smaller area than before, not painful unless I press on it.. I was on a 7 day rx of bactrim, took the last of the rx today.
Will this resolve on its own? or should I contact my dr. again today?
