Asked By:jadelaity in Camborne, C6

I suffer a breast abscess in my left breast and it's on going for about 10 years I'm hoping to have curative surgery this spring. I've had antibiotics (clindamycin) as well as more then 1 incisions and drainages also have been fitted with a pico dressing(negative pressure dressing) which helps then when removed the abscess breaks through the skin within a few day of removal. Over the last 12 months it's not healed any longer than 3 days before returning and breaking through the skin again.
