Inflammatory masses are very unlikely to heal on their own, and puncture surgery to drain them is usually recommended. Inflammatory masses contain pus, which is difficult for the body to completely absorb, and can be treated conservatively, i.e. with antibiotics, but this treatment is generally ineffective, and the process of disappearing the mass is very slow, the best treatment is to use surgery to drain out the pus. Inflammatory masses occur in different locations. If the mass is superficial, close to the skin or the surface of the body, the pus can be drained out by puncture. However, inflammatory masses can also occur in deeper areas such as the abdominal cavity, where surgery is generally recommended to drain the pus. Inflammatory masses should be treated as prescribed by the doctor.
