This patient’s wife is a fan! First I want to thank them for sharing his procedure. This abscess was just starting, hence the term “not ripened.” It’s common when you feel an abscess that is hard as a rock, called “induration,” that’s the body’s response to that cyst rupturing or trauma, that the inflammation is relatively new.
Not a ripened neck abscess. Painful, firm nodule with a deep pocket on the neck. I+D with packing. MrPopZit 0412
