Applying cold to an abscess is generally not recommended, as it can constrict blood vessels and potentially hinder the body’s natural healing process. Instead, warm compresses may be more beneficial, as they can help increase blood flow and promote drainage. However, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment options, especially if the abscess is painful or worsening.
