Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Z-2-H Family Med & Urgent Care

What is an abscess?

An abscess is a localized collection of pus caused by infection, often appearing as a painful, swollen lump under the skin or in soft tissue.

When should I seek care for an abscess?

Seek evaluation if you notice redness, warmth, swelling, severe pain, fever, or drainage from a lump. Early treatment prevents spread and complications.

Can I be treated at home?

Mobile providers can assess small abscesses, prescribe antibiotics, and provide guidance. Larger abscesses may require in-clinic drainage.

Is drainage necessary?

Drainage is sometimes required for abscesses that do not resolve with antibiotics alone. Providers determine the safest approach.

Are abscesses contagious?

Some abscesses caused by bacteria like MRSA can be contagious. Proper hygiene and care instructions reduce transmission risk.

How fast can a mobile provider arrive?

UrgentCare2Go typically arrives within a few hours depending on location and availability, allowing prompt care and infection control.

Can children get evaluated for abscesses?

Yes — evaluations are available for adults and children, with providers following age-appropriate treatment protocols.

Is care safe and confidential?

All services are HIPAA-compliant. Mobile and in-clinic visits ensure patient privacy and medical safety.

Can follow-up be virtual?

Yes — providers can offer secure virtual follow-ups to monitor healing, review lab results, or adjust treatment plans.

What tests may be performed?

Providers may perform wound cultures, blood tests, or imaging to assess severity and identify bacteria causing the infection.

Will antibiotics be needed?

Antibiotics may be prescribed if the abscess is infected, particularly for larger or complicated abscesses.

What is the recovery process?

Healing typically takes days to weeks, depending on size and treatment. Follow instructions for wound care, hygiene, and activity restrictions.

Do I need insurance?

Most major insurance plans are accepted. Coverage varies by plan, and staff can help verify your benefits before your visit.

Can telehealth visits treat abscesses?

Telehealth can provide evaluation, guidance, and prescriptions for small abscesses, but larger or severe abscesses require in-person assessment.
