Applied Icthammol On Big Painful Skin Abscess In Groin Area Which Has Started To Drain

I have a skin abcess in my groin area. I applied icthammol and it came to a head. The size of the boil seems to be a big as a baseball. It is painful and now my scroutum feels like it is filling with puss. It has started to drain but at a very slow rate.

Hi,
from history it seems that abscess is fully formed and now it has to be excised and drainage of pus is required.
consult your doctor and get examined.
Ok and take care.
