INCISION AND DRAINAGE

For patients experiencing painful abscesses, boils, or other localized infections, we provide prompt and professional incision and drainage treatment. Our skilled medical staff will thoroughly evaluate the affected area, administer topical/local anesthetic as needed, and then carefully make an incision to drain the built-up pus and fluid. This procedure helps relieve pressure, reduce pain and swelling, and promote healing of the infection. We use sterile techniques and specialized instruments to ensure the incision and drainage process is performed safely and effectively. Afterward, we’ll provide detailed wound care instructions and schedule any necessary follow-up appointments. By offering this important service on-site, our urgent care can help you avoid the time and expense of seeking treatment in a hospital emergency department.

The information provided here is general, and it is important to follow up with LakePointe Urgent Care or another healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment if you suspect this or any other medical condition.
