  • my 3 year old daughter a abscess on her leg and she can hardly walk and it is not getting bigger... she going to hozzy to get it lanced but will they put her to sleep cos i can't see her staying still while they put needle in..

  • so funny watching them ooze out

  • ouch man was it atleast alil numb i mean damn i couldnt do it lol

  • Wow, that closely resembles my procedure when I got a brown recluse bite, and my dead beat ex-step dad wouldn't take me to the doctor for a week, and a half. Two more days , and it would have gotten into my rib cage.

  • I got bit by a hobo spider while I was asleep and it turned abscess BAD and it swole my whole arm up. Extreme, excruciating pain I can't even make an analogy.

  • i had one of those on my tail bone and it is the worst pain that you can EVER imagine. it is unbearable. when they remove the packing it is just as painful as when they initially cut it. i am so sorry for ANYONE who has to go through this.

  • that was,,,interesting

  • omg i was asleep when i had this done,i had one on my face under my eye just looked it up to see what they did they must pull the fibre back out wi all the crap n puss.......nice

  • They pack it with gauze to help fight further infection.

  • is that between her legs

  • No , they put that in to help it heal . You cant just leave a deep punctured wound open like that .

  • The material they put in the wound acts as a sort of wick so that the wound can heal from the inside out. If it closed up over the hole where the infection was, it would just reinfect.

  • you put that in because when its infected, they put that paper in you it has some type of drug on it and it nums the inside of you so it wont get hurt or infected

  • it must b hell, having to put all that crap up in ur ...leg or watever, etc, lol, i'm glad its not me.

  • i dont get it.why do they put that thing in it?? nasty.

  • Packing abscesses is an obsolete procedure. Simply, the abscess must be incised properly (A + incision) and irrigated. A simple follow up helps to insure the incision stays open. When packing is done, it must be done in a sterile fashion, which was not done in the video shown.

  • i had one in my under arm it was nearly 3" big before i got it drained the had to get me 3 shots to numb it and by the time they were putting in the packing the shots had worn off and it hurt like a mother. my packing kept coming out and yeah it hurts alot when you get it taken out i also have mrsa (staff) and i will have it forever be careful you can pick it up any where this might sound wierd but the doctor said i probably got it from the flip flops i bought in walmart that i wore all summer

  • was that from a ingrown hair?

  • i had one of those they put the string or what ever you wanna call it so that the wound will heal from inside out other ways there is chance for it to get infected again

  • It acts like a wick to draw the fluids out, similar to how a Zippo lighter works. Abscesses need to heal from the inside out. If the incision closes before the bacteria is gone, they can easily come back.

  • ooh eee aah! i can feel the pain!! AH!!! STOP IT HURTS TOO MUCH! X((

  • O.o

  • worst pain ever when they take that out

  • man this surgery is bad.

  • Haha, I had an absess in my belly button man and they had to stick it in there, and even after that i had to replace it every so often. I thoguth my intestines were gonna get pulled out

  • Im missing the fourth video, were it gets pulled out :)

  • hope she was sedated

  • did it hurt

  • DUDE!!!! if that would happenn to me...or any other of you people...

    OUCH!!!

  • oh dear... that looks painful.. how does one get an abscess in the first place?

    sadly youtube is the first place i've even heard of such a thing X_x

  • holly shit xDDDD

    whats that ?

  • omg i had surgery yesterday for pilondial sinus abscess incision and drainage and today i had my first packing change with the same dressings they use in this video and omg ! the pain was horrible and i got to have that every day and im only 14 years old and they still arent very gentle with me being younger.

    i swear its the most painful part of all and has anyone got any tips on easing the pain during packing?

    thanks.

  • i had one but they didnt do this... i just went for surgery they cut me drained it n left the cut open to heal by itself. haha now i have a scar on my armpit... but they did this to my bro in law.... hmmmm

  • Yeah they put it in there to get all the puss and to clean it out and stuff and after a few days or weeks they take it out its nasty

  • The packing is put in there to allow it to continue to drain as it heals. If you simply cover it up, the upper part of the skin would close over and provide a nice warm pocket for the infection to build up again and perhaps go even deeper as it looks to take the path of least resistance.

  • scary

  • you could perform a fair amount of magic tricks with that!! haha

  • I can't imagine how much this must hurt. Does the packing help the formation of granulation tissue and help get rid of any residual infection? I would feel like Shaungotti29: why can't they just drain it and send patient away?

  • omg.. they put that in there why? to clean it out..then take it out? OUCH!

  • It's to keep the wound opened so that it'll drain properly. I've now gone to get the packing changed 4 times and I was told that I'd likely have to get it done 4 or 5 more time. Yay!! lol Ah well, there are far worse things.

  • Its to prevent it filling up with puss again. I had to get that done every two days for 4 months. Painful? yes.

  • it promotes better wound healing and limits the risk of the abscess reoccurring.

  • its surgical gauze probably filled with a disinfectant so it doesn't get infected. they take it out like a week or so later

  • they use that, to fill in the whole temperarly. becuase the flesh would mostly heal on top, leaving a gap of air inside, and making it hard to heal inside, so they have that to also clean it too. they keep a little bit hanging out for easy and mostly painless removal ^_^

  • It has heal from the inside - can't just let a scab grow over a cavity like that. The packing is so that it remains open so that the new layers of skin etc grow and fill it in the proper order. otherwise it would never heal properly

  • The packing is to keep the wound open. The packing will absorb the drainage. This helps keep the wound from closing up while there is still infection present.

  • to keep it from closing to so the inside has a chance to heal out before the infection pocket closes. It doesnt always work. Sometimes they cover over the from the outside heal and reform.

  • There are horror stories where they forget it's in there.

  • they packing has this stuff in it that draws out infection and the rest of the pus so the infection dont come back

  • its so it wont close up so it can heal from the inside out.

  • That is packing. They keep it in there to hold in the extra ooze. (I know... disgusting.) I have some in ME right now. I had one removed last night. Yes, you pull it out yourself.

  • I have one on the inside of my ass cheek right now. It's hell. When they remove the packing, the pain is unreal. I thought they'd just drain it, stick a bandage on it and send me on my way. Heck no. I've had to get the packing removed and put back in 3 times already. It really blows.

  • I went through the same thing for a few months and it is painful and humiliating. The surgery didnt stop me getting them either.

  • Dude.. When I was 8. I thought the same thing.

    I thought the needle to numb it was the worst pain but when they SLICED THE ABCESS OPEN ON MY SIDE. I thought I was gonna die.

  • I have to do it myself after ai had surgery three days ago. They gave me vicodine but it made me sick. I can't push it in that far

  • you're suppose to have that put in.. why?

  • It prevents infection, I had one on the back of my neck. They take it out and put a new one in like 3 times, depending how bad it is

  • It keeps the wound open so it drains, instead of scabbing over and forming a boil. Also the packing acts as an irritant and that makes the body try to flush the wound.. the idea is to localize the infection in the area nearest the hole so it heals fast and clean. It's nasty but it works like a charm.

  • because if you don't it will heal on the outside quicker then the inside and basically leave a giant hole under your skin. this helps it heal properly.

  • keeps it from reforming... a packed whole has no where for pus to be stored.

  • so it dosent get infected if u dont the thing will  just come back i have one and it really hurts getting it put in and out i have to do it every morning

  • it absorbs fluid

  • what was the point of that

  • It keeps the wound open long enough for all the junk to run out, 24 hours later you pull that out and let it heal correctly.

  • it has the thingg drain and not heal on the outside to trap it all in again

  • i think to clean it or to see how long it is

  • to soak up the blood

  • yep i had one on my bum, thourght it was an ingrowing hair not that i have much hair there. it was pretty massive but gave me no problems until i started squeezing it! then it went bigger, redder, harder and stung like crazy at the slightest touch. went into AE under local anestetic and it looked like they cut it out . ive been left with a scar but its far better than what it was before.

  • same here except i was like 4 or 5 and i had surgery and i was awake the whole time, it sucked so much

  • Oh man, they are shakin real bad :/

  • That is definitely a staph infection!! My mom had it and that is just what it looked like. They did that same procedure on her. Wash your hands people that stuff is deadly if not properly treated.

  • An abscess is caused by supperation, which is ussually caused by inflamation/irratation.

  • and/or bacteria creates a haven under your skin and colonizes

  • lol tampon for the leg !

  • had a this surgery done a couple months ago it suckeddddddd

    PS ass hole doctors gave me morphine after the surgery was done

  • Eww....I had surgery for that last week.....omg gross.....

  • That looks pretty painful..

    Hope it didn't hurt

    :)

  • uhh...how bout abscess packing?

  • that is what i call gross

  • whats abscess?

  • holly shit why would they shove that in there doesnt it hurt?

  • First video I've seen on here of an abcess actually being treated correctly. Everyone just usually squeezes them and films it to put on youtube.

  • Man I had this done to me today, but it was on my head, I know the pain your going through man....I feel for you

  • LOL thats gonna be a damn good one too

  • when they put that stuff back in its just disgusting

  • omg this remind me of the pain i have to go though T.T they dont even num it just got for it.

  • Ouch.

  • gee... that's quite a cavity you have there...

  • she's so strong, i couldn't do that if i could...

  • I had an abscess like this on my face. I couldn't even see what was happening and what they were doing.I just had to hope that when I took the bandage off i didn;t have a huge hole in my cheek!

  • i just had one...it was internal...

    ahh

    that hurt so bad...i had to get my tonsils out...i hated it and i was talkin all weird..lol

  • I've been suffering from MRSA for 3 years ( I've always been so hygenically clean my whole life my family and friends think I have OCD} Maybe if my doctors had some sense they would have done this procedure on me!

  • how do you get sores like that?

  • wats that o - o

  • my husband has one right now on butt the first doctor cut and only a little came out and they only used local numbing *i forgot the name* we had to go back because it was still painful and it looking like it was getting bigger and traveling. this time we have a different doctor who gave him morphine *helped more but still really painful* and this time they made the cut bigger and made a second one where there was a new pocket. there was so much. he need surgery to make sure it doesn't come back.

  • is that tissue?

  • OMG o.o

  • omg... this is so nasty... she's brave ;)

  • Had 4 on the back of my theigh only they were much larger and deeper...they cut half my theigh out.

  • Cara has a real pretty leg though.

  • Not so bad.  It is educational. Thanks for posting.yous

  • Goodness what horrible paiiinnn!!!

  • how do you get one of these?

  • im only 11 and had this infection when i was 10 it hurt like crap taking the stuffing out i screamed for a week and then you have a hole thats huge

  • oh i had this surgery i thought it was a cyst tho. i=the stuff inside is really digusting.

  • Looks like they're preparing for a magik trick :D

  • haha. to me it looks like there putting in a tapeworm xD

  • "i need a volunteer, here, take this raincoat and get ready to put the scarf out of my thigh"

  • =D.

  • had one on my ass cheek, no idea how it got there but..

  • omgwtflol.

    u made my day.

  • what did they have to do? if you dont mine me asking, just like gross/cool stuff like this

  • did the doc say any thing about spiders?

  • ingrown hair

  • i had one on the bottom of my butt

  • Damn, that msut have been embarrasing...

    Was it at least a chick who operated on it? :D

  • me too lol

  • dude man it happens to the best of us lol.

  • I had this done as well and YES it is extremely painful when you have to remove the packing...even after the nurse gave me morphine I was still screaming!

  • DUDE.. i know..but when they inject it first with the numbing shit before they drain it...its like fire.

  • i had this done and the packing came out by its self. it was stuck to the bandage,i didn't feel a thing to be honest..guess i was just lucky cause i was expecting to be punching people out of pain

  • I know this was over a year and a half ago now, but I still have to say that she is so brave!

    I'm going through this tommorow and I doubt I will be able to compose myself like that.

    As they said, "She's a trooper" :)

  • imagine if this video was played backwards...

  • you have to take part of it out everyday i had it once, did NOT feel good at all feeling that being pulled out

  • hahahaha!oh dude!thats hilarious!

  • it would look like a magic trick

  • what is abscess, my classmate is having one and she still isn't sure

  • o..m..g.. my eye was twitchin when i saw this..

  • my leg is tinglyy. that looks more painful than it probably is.

  • that junk hurts to take out

  • it actually bothers my skin in a way and i feel his pain kinda

  • The packing gauze helps to soake up some of the infection.

  • Ugh, that stuff hurts like a bitch to take out

  • how these poeple get the infection from ?

  • i have one absess and the explanation my Dr. told me is that in my case the hair doesn't grow to the outside but it grows to the inside of the skin and that causes the infection.

  • Staph is an infection of bacteria living in your bloodstream. you can get it by not washing properly, scratching a bug bite, or something as simple as not taking care of a piercing or blemish

  • my leg is tingly

  • they have to pack it so that the hole where the abcess was heals from the inside out to prevent air bubbles and infections etc. it also acts as a sponge to absorb remaining puss and other bodily fluids.

  • Its packing gauze. It helps to prevent infections.

  • It is called packing guaze to keep it draining.

  • wats a abscess

  • Well, first of all, it might be a good idea for you to:

    a)spell "what's" correctly.

    b)consider this amazing magical place people go to find answers to their questions. It's called "Google."

  • it's called a 'wick'. made of gauze or similar material, and it's supposed to absorb any puss and blood left in the wound to avoid infection again. i think you wait a week, or however is suggested, to pull it out.

  • BLERRG!

  • um why is she putting tissue in it?

  • they put tissue in it so no bacteria gets into it and gets infected.

  • They are putting a gauze into it to stop infection :)

  • it's a wick-absorbs the remaining pus and any new stuff that might come along- they'll remove it at some time later- in a few days or so? She'll be treated with antibiotics as well.

  • everyday u have to chage it its just like a bandage, my mom had 1

  • to stop the bleeding..or puss is my guess.

  • It is to keep it draining. Not to stop puss, that would be harmful.

  • Lets remove your abscess...by stuffing it with a shoe lase...wate wtf?!

  • no its called like gauze or something

  • wtf are we shoving stuff IN IT?!

  • It just keep going.. and going..

  • not its a type of bandage to help with bleeding

  • oh heeeyyull no!!

  • ....why?

  • why are they doing it??

  • she sounds kinda hot!!!!!=þ

  • that was REAL DEEP!  Where did that come from?

  • oh my god, getting paper into yourself..

  • that looks like tissue paper

  • when i first watched this vid i thought that thing they are puting into that person's body was a shoe lace o_O

  • shit that wouldve hurt

  • I had an episode with msra in my groin. It hurt so much I couldn't walk for days. I was finally able to get it lanced at the ER, they packed it just like this too.

  • i had staph 1 time and its healed up now but it looks like i got shot with a 22. lol

  • what is abscess? I hope I don't get it, it seems kinda common....

  • Why i didn't see any pus come out from these 3 video? Too early to cut it or what? Normally after how many days is suitable to cut open the abcess?

  • i had somthing like that put in an infected surgery site man that shit hurt cause it was like twice as big

  • mrsa is becomming an epidemic in some places. 10 years ago they isolated people with this infection in hospitals and nursing homes. Now they don't and it has spread especially among tweekers. Everyone beware of staph!

  • why r they putting it in??

  • eekk what the hell is that ting

  • Once healthed, does it leave a hole in the skin that needs to be sutured?

  • My sister had to have the same procedure done to her a couple years ago. She HATED it. She said the piece of paper they stuck in her was so annoyingly uncomfortable
