Hoping anyone can help, i think i have an abscess, it has already burst, and is still leaking, do i need to see a doctor or will it clear up on its own, it was a bite originally, got it while i had the flu, and it turned nasty, not a nice subject i know, but hoping someone can help

I think it would be worth getting it checked by pharmacist, practice nurse or GP as the risk of infection is probably pretty high.

go to a doctor instead of putting the sympotoms on a website, always go to the doctor before using the internet. go now.

Have bin to see the pharmacist, they have said it should be fine, the problem with seeing the docs is that they are always so busy, it can take months to see a doctor
