Advice please? I’ve got this really sore flare up under my stomach (sorry for the bad photo) it’s about the size of a golf ball and doesn’t seem to have any signs of draining.

Had my first golf ball sized abscess over 2 weeks ago. Today after a shower it began to drain, squeezed it as hard as I could tolerate to maximize drainage. It still has solid parts.
