question: I have a history of axilla abcess, some have been treated with meds, others have required surgical intervention.  I have had one under my left arm for a few weeks now and antibiotics did not work.  My doctor suggested that surgery would be the answer.  I delayed going back, hoping it would go away, which it has almost overnight!  My concern is that the abcess has burst, hence the quick reduction in size.  I am 9 weeks pregnant and am now worried that this could affect my fetus???
