I just got an abscess drained and then when another doctor looked at it he said it might be infected but I think it's only scar tissue since wouldn't an infection in the drained abscess hurt?
Abscesses are an accumulation of purulent debris (pus) and are usually the result of an infection. So, if the abscess has been drained and you have been on antibiotics to treat the underlying infection, usually that would treat and/or prevent further infection. However, once an abscess has been opened and drained, it is possible for that open wound to become infected, either with the original bacteria or with a new one. You may not have or notice pain in the area, especially if it has been lanced (opened to drain). So that is not accurate for determining if there is infection. If a doctor said it looked like it might be infected, then the chances are extremely high that it is. Scar tissue would not usually look like an infection, and would also not likely be very visible if you "just got an abscess drained." Trust the doctor in this kind of diagnosis.

Why is my cat Sneezing and has alump on his head?
It sounds like your cat has an upper respiratory infection along with a possible abscess on his or her head. An abscess is caused by cat bites or cat claws and the infection closes over and infection/puss builds up inside. It would need to be drained and cleaned out. Also antibiotics would be needed too. But first of all you need to take your cat into your Veterinarian to have him or her checked out and diagnosed correctly.

Richard, it sounds l?
Richard, it sounds like you may have an infection. Warmth, swelling, redness and pain are signs of inflammation, which is your body's response to some sort of insult. In your case, you ought to see a doctor and get examined for a possible abscess, which is a localized infection that may need to be drained. If he or she cannot tell by examination, and if there is concern for an abscess, your doctor may order an MRI to better evaluate your leg.

My knee was infected and now has a hole in the skin?
Sounds like an abscess that has burst or been opened and has drained itself of the pus that was inside. Abscesses are very common, most are due to MRSA (a particularly virulent staph. bacteria) and should be examined by a doctor to prevent the infection from worsening. If the abscess is large enough, it must be packed with sterile packing material as abscesses need to heal from the inside out, otherwise, the skin might heal and close over the top of the hole, leaving a pocket for the bacteria to grow into an abscess once again. Think of a bunch of grapes, and that's what it looks like under the skin. All those little pockets must be open and drained to avoid worsening infection.
