If it’s a hard lump or swelling and is not red or tender, usually it’s less likely to be an abscess. Can apply a very thin layer of local thrombophob ointment exactly at the site of lump 4-5 times a day for 4-5 days. It should resolve within 4-5 weeks.
Next Steps
To watch for increase in size, change in colour or pain on touch.
Health Tips
Do not apply excess of ointment. Do not rub it. Do not spread it outside the area affected.
