Question

I'm a 35-year-old male engineer, and I've recently had my gallbladder removed. I'm still on bed rest and trying to figure out how much more time I might need to fully recover. Can you give me an idea of the usual recovery period for this surgery? I'm concerned about how much longer I might need to stay off work.

Question

I'm worried about an abscess I have that has turned black. Does that mean it's healing or getting worse? My doctor suggested waiting for 3 days, but I'm still concerned. Can you help me understand what's happening?

Question

I've got this boil near my groin, right over the left thigh, and it's been bothering me for about 56 days now. A couple of days ago, I noticed it turned into this red and soft spot, about 0.3 by 0.3 cm in size, surrounded by a hard area measuring 4 by 2 cm. It really started to hurt a couple of days back, so I consulted a surgeon. He suggested I take cefixime and diclofenac tablets, along with using SU-MAG ointment for dressing. The next day, I applied a good amount of SU-MAG and dressed the boil, and by the end of the day, the pain was gone. But now, the boil has an opening. I'm a bit unsure about what to do next. Should I keep using the SU-MAG dressing even though the boil is open, or should I stop? Or maybe switch to Betadine dressing? Is it better to go back to the surgeon for further drainage? I'd really appreciate any advice you could give!

Question

I've had an abscess in my right breast for about three years now, and I've noticed something that's been worrying me. My right breast seems bigger than the left, and I've also lost sensation in the nipple. I'm wondering if this is due to the abscess or if there could be something else causing it?
