If you're experiencing pain, swelling, or a visible lump under the skin, you may have an abscess or cyst. At North Ave Immediate Care in Addison, IL, we offer safe and effective drainage procedures to relieve discomfort, prevent infection, and promote proper healing. Our team provides fast, same-day treatment in a clean, supportive environment.
Abscesses are pus-filled infections beneath the skin, while cysts are closed sacs that may contain fluid or other material. Though often small, they can become painful, swollen, or infected if not properly treated. Medical drainage is often necessary when home care isn't enough.
Wash gently with mild soap and water.
Doing so may spread infection or worsen inflammation.
This may help reduce swelling and promote drainage.
Ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help manage pain.
Seek care if redness, pain, or drainage increases.
