WEll it's been a month since, but one day my mom and I were holding the babies and mam, and somehow a scab had formed on her abscess. So I said why don't we pick off the scab (I read about this somewhere, someone had done this successfully three times before) My mom got a towel and held her, and I picked the scab and a giant mound of gooey green pus came out, I wiped it out. I made absolute sure that there was none left and then we put neosporin in it. Now, a month later it's completely healed, and the bacteria inside was obviously not harmful, because she hasn't gotten sick yet. It's now completely healed!
