Had an abscess that drained blood. Went to Doctor and was given antibiotics. This was 3 weeks ago. This thing is still lightly bleeding. The location is on my panty line so I'm thinking it just keeps getting irritated. Any thoughts ?

      It finally healed! I think I am prone to get these. I have axiety and sweat alot! I am trying lots of different at home stuff to see what helps, but I do have a checkup after the new year.

      Back to doctor yesterday. I was told that this type of thing is very common and I may just have a chronic problem with it. Mine are not really painful. They are more of a nuisance. I would just like for them to disappear forever not for 2 or three weeks and then return. My anxiety level has been extreme and it's causing BP to elevate. Sick of it.
