Incision and drainage of a simple abscess is a procedure where a doctor makes a small cut to open a pocket of infected fluid or pus so it can drain out and the area can heal. You might need this procedure if you have a localized infection that has formed a collection of pus under your skin or in soft tissue. During the procedure, you can expect the doctor to clean the area, possibly give you local numbing medication, make a small incision, allow the abscess to drain, and then clean and dress the wound.
