Can Stitch Granulomas Heal Without Being Surgically Removed?

4655anon
HX-MRSA abscess post op abdominoplasty. Several rounds bactrim ds. PMHX-healthy, nonsmoker, nondiabetic 18 weeks post op 2 stitch granulomas-can they heal w/out surgical intervention (one has not opened, the other has opened daily X 4 days w/small amt pus drainage)? Could a longer duration of abx be successful (6 weeks)? AND if they HAD to be removed what is the chance of ending up with another MRSA abscess?
