<p>Thank you, nysmile. I will keep that description in mind for the time I may require a similar procedure.</p>
<p>tofugirl, cool that is good to know. In that case I have no worries. You probably just have a blocked duct or a cyst that may or may not have got infected.</p>
<p>nysmile, I’m guessing that the area feels immediately better, since it’s the pressure that’s causing the discomfort?</p>
<p>OP: Yayyy :)</p>
<p>Good to hear the update, glad to hear the (comparatively) good news!</p>
<p>Take care of yourself and take ALL the antibotics.</p>
<p>UPDATE: The abscess is literally almost gone! The antibiotics cleared it right up. Thank God!</p>
<p>Tofugirl, I’m so happy to hear it. Just make sure you take all of your antibiotic pills (if there are any left). You do not want this bug to develop antibiotics resistance. Kudos to you for taking care of your health - this is one area where an ounce of prevention is way more valuable than a pound of cure. By nipping this in the bud you did not let it snowball out of control. Great job.</p>
<p>Great news tofugirl! And BunsenBurner is correct; when you take antibiotics, usually you feel better pretty quickly, but it’s important to always take ALL of the pills.</p>
