The procedure is called an incision and drainage, and involves making an incision (cut) in the skin overlying the fluid collection and draining the fluid from the abscess. All areas of infection must be removed to cure the infection. If the leftover cavity is large enough, it may need to be packed to prevent re-accumulation of infection and allow the cavity to heal from the inside out.
