First time poster, long time lurker: It appears to me on reading various posts on various pages that moms who have very unfortunately ended up w surgery for abscess vs needle aspiration frequently find themselves w another abscess. A client who didn't contact me til way too late in the process had surgery yesterday. I'd like to give her some tips to hopefully avoid a recurrence. Thank you for any advice.
