Hi, I recently had a pilonidal abscess removed, which I have been told is very unusual in a non-hairy normal weight female.
Unfortunately although the surgery worked I have had another abscess for much higher up, which has burst for the second time in 2 weeks. I am now having this packed, but want to know is it normal to go 7 days before having the packing changed, as I was lead to believe it needed to be every 24-48hrs.
Any advice would be great as the whole situation is really starting to get me down, plus I'm a due to go on holiday in 5 weeks and really don't want to be still dealing with this..
