Ive been dealing with this perianal abscess for around 20 days now. I was put on Uniclav 625 and have been applying Shield ointment for about 15 days. The abscess has started draining on its own partially, so Im wondering if I should keep using the Shield ointment on it. Also, are there any side effects if I use this ointment for a longer period?
