Hi,
Thanks for asking. I understand your concern.
It seems to be hair root infection turning in an abscess.
He should be given with antibiotic/anti inflammatory drugs as per doctor's advise... this would control infection &inflammation to cure it Or at least reduce the size of abscess &also the size of incision (in case it does not cure &gets ready..... soft &fluctuating.)....for incision
So to start with mwedicines &take a chance for cure &be prepared for incision &drainage is routine strategy for treatment in such cases.
Medicines would be followed even after incision.
Thanks.
