Yes, a hematoma can become an abscess. There are several types of hematoma, and a few possibilities as to what kind of abscess can develop. The type of hematoma and the circumstances that drive it to abscess will determine what kind of abscess.

Can a hematoma almost go away then come back?

Yes, a hematoma can initially appear to resolve as the body gradually absorbs the blood and fluid, leading to a reduction in size and symptoms. However, if there is ongoing bleeding or if the area is re-traumatized, the hematoma can reappear or become enlarged again. This can happen in cases of inadequate healing or underlying issues that prevent proper absorption. If a hematoma seems to return or worsen, it's important to seek medical evaluation.
