What is I&D (Incision & Drainage)?
I&D stands for incision and drainage.
This is a common medical procedure used to release pus or infected fluid from an abscess or swollen infected area.
Doctors may recommend I&D when an infection causes:
- Significant swelling
- Painful pressure
- Pus collection
- Skin redness and inflammation
- Increasing tenderness
The goal is to help reduce pressure, improve drainage, and support healing.
Common Conditions That May Need I&D Treatment
Doctors may assess conditions such as:
- Skin abscesses
- Boils
- Inflamed skin infections
- Infected insect bites
- Small localized infections
- Wounds with pus or swelling
Treatment recommendations depend on the severity, location, and appearance of the infection.
