Incision and Drainage is a minor surgical procedure that removes trapped pus and infection beneath the skin. When an abscess forms, it often causes swelling, tenderness, and increasing discomfort. This simple but essential procedure allows the doctor to open the infected area, drain the accumulated fluid, and reduce pressure, helping restore proper healing.
