If the pus has been drained from the abscess the time that it would take to heal would depending upon the size of the raw area that has been created . also you would require an antibiotic course for a week or two weeks and the lesion will take time to return to normal I advise you to be patient and follow the doctors advice and give it some time. Hope this was helpful.
