While antibiotics might clear up the bacterial infection in most cases of cellulitis, an abscess might occur in some advanced cases. And surgery is the only option to drain it. Firstly, your doctor will numb the affected area with medicine. A small cut will be then made in the abscess so that the pus could drain out. Once the process has completed, he or she will cover the wound with a bandage to prevent bacterial penetration. This treatment option would leave a small scar on your body. [12]
