i've had a groin abscess on the skin for 8 months now. I went to the doctor when i first noticed it, he gave me antibiotics, it didn't work. Don't have insurance anymore so, after that i decided to drain it myself w/ a clean needle..BAD IDEA!!! now it won't stop pussing and bleeding. i went to the emergency room for the first time 2 months ago, the doctor lanced it and gave me antibiotics, that didn't work. I went back a month ago, a different doctor said i just need antibiotics for a little longer and that should heal it. I'm finished w/ the antibiotics, and i am still bleeding-draining-pussing. The incision was healing up, but today it was itching, i put pressure w/ gauze b/c it was bleeding more than yesterday, then a whole bunch of blood came out. I took a shower and put the shower head to it. It has slowed bleeding, but i know it will come back. I am also nursing my son so i can only take certain antibiotics. I need advice, any advice is good advice at this point!!!
