Abscess

Just had an anal abscess drained. The surgeon left the wound open. Does anyone know how long these take to heal? the wound is 2-3 cm long
 
Hi,

It's difficult to say as it depends how deep the wound is and we all heal at different rates. In my case, I'd typically expect it to be ~4/5 weeks.

Hope you are sitting comfortably soon.
