Suggest Treatment For An Abscess Below The Navel
I have something like an abcess just below my bellybutton. I have also been suffering from keloid which are quite large around the pubic region, causing me one abcess after another. This recent one started only yesterday and have become very painful, what do I do?

Hi and welcome.
You should apply steroid cream and cold compresses for a beginning but if there is redness and pus secretion then it should be treated with antibiotics. Also, this may be suppurative hydradenitis and in this cas it may require surgical treatment. Wish you good health. Regards
