Brief Answer:
Yes, you can.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Yes, you can have pork even if you have an abscess. Pork does not exacerbate abscesses. Infected pork can give rise to cysticercosis which can manifest with the abscess. But that is in no way related to an abscess that you may have.

Feel free to write back.
