Some small skin abscesses may drain naturally and get better without the need for treatment. Applying heat in the form of a warm compress, such as a warm flannel, may help reduce any swelling and speed up healing. However, the flannel should be thoroughly washed afterward and not used by other people, to avoid spreading the infection. For larger or persistent skin abscesses, your GP may prescribe a course of antibiotics to help clear the infection and prevent it from spreading. Sometimes, especially with recurrent infections, you may need to wash off all the bacteria from your body to prevent re-infection (decolonization). This can be done using antiseptic soap for most of your body and an antibiotic cream for the inside of your nose. However, antibiotics alone may not be enough to clear a skin abscess, and the pus may need to be drained to clear the infection. If a skin abscess is not drained, it may continue to grow and fill with pus until it bursts, which can be painful and can cause the infection to spread or come back.
