Thank you for the insight and assurance that we are cared for by a proper specialist. Our first doctor performed two I&Ds to take abscess out from my wife's breast. He always look for the round spot (emboss, soft and redish), which he calls "eye", and do the incision there and draining, too. The incision have not healed yet and it's already a month old. Is this normal? Now, another round spot (emboss, soft and redish) has appeared. Does it mean that my wife must undergo I&D again?
