I just had surgery to remove mine. Depending on size they either drain it or they perform a procedure known as "marsupialisation". Drainage is performed under general anaesthetic and a small incision is made and the pus and abscess and is removed. The wound is then left to open heal which requires daily changing of the bandage. A nurse has to "pack" the wound with gauze which is very painful, usually for about 2 weeks.
