In June 2023 when the abscess formed, I did tell my family doctor that I rather not have any surgical procedure and wanted the abscess to drain on its own at home, but when the remaining pus became trapped and the abscess could not clear away, I asked my family doctor if I needed a surgical procedure to clear away the trapped pus and surprisingly he said no. My ENT was then on medical leave until Dec, and I received an Aug CT, Oct Ultrasound and Dec CT and my family doctor still informed me I did not need surgery. When my ENT finally reviewed my Dec CT scan and I saw him in Jan 2024 he said the lesion has cleared and it has become a non mass ill defined area that is a scar and that I don't need surgery at this time.

I think it may be more then just a scar it could be inflammation due to the trapped pus since it still becomes slightly warmish hot at times with a slight bruise feeling. I'll be seeing a new ENT and will ask him for an MRI as well as a needle core biopsy of the actual ill defined enhanced area to confirm exactly what it is.
