“Boil turned abscess?”
2 days ago I noticed a boil like bump and I bandaged it but the next day I noticed the bump was gone and there was a hole there in its place. It looks like it has finished draining and I've been keeping it bandaged. Should I continue to keep it clean, dry and bandage and let it heal on its own or should I seek medical attention?

Hello there! I recommend see a physician/dermatologist that can evaluate, and if needed, biopsy or culture using an swab and diagnose this skin condition so appropriate treatment can be given!
