Suggest Treatment For An Abscess On Lower Cheek

I have a face abcess on my left lower cheek. However I am in Germany living in a Wohngemeinschaft on Erasmus and have had recurring staph infections like this since being with my ex boyfriend. I'm 21 years old and this only started last year,but it is mainly down to the unhygienic practices of people in my flat (I hasten to add I am very clean). What would you recommend?

For an abscess on lower cheek you can take some antibiotic preferably augmentin or cefadroxyl after an expert opinion along with zerodol-sr or ibugesic-plus for pain and swelling. Do regular dressing under strict aseptic precautions and do hot fomentation over the same site.
