This video shows the drainage of a large abscess located on the patient’s right flank, just beneath the armpit. The swelling had become extremely painful and interfered with sleep, most likely the result of a cyst that had grown too large and ruptured internally. As the abscess was carefully lanced, a substantial amount of purulent material was expressed, immediately relieving the intense pressure the patient had been enduring.
The footage captures both the medical precision of the procedure and the dramatic transformation in the patient’s comfort level. Within moments of drainage, the pain subsided significantly, and the road to recovery began. The patient’s quick healing afterward stands as a testament to the importance of timely intervention for severe skin infections.
Special thanks are extended to the patient for allowing this case to be shared, offering both an educational and fascinating look into dermatology and minor surgical care. Tagged under #dermatology, #abscess, and #MrPopZit, this clip highlights how skilled hands can make a profound difference in just a few minutes.
