I had an abscess in November 2016, had excision and drainage and it came back in February 2017. Had another excision and drainage and healed well. I am waiting for a cleft lift in September. Currently noticing a slight swelling next to the previous scar, no redness, pain when pressed. I drive a lot for work and also sit at a desk. Un able to get a GP appointment, hoping it just scar tissue swelling.
