Hello - and oh my goodness, that must hurt. Even assuming it WAS just an abscess, it must be very painful and I would not advocate lancing it at home, especilly not without pain killers and specialist restraint. That word 'assuming' is also a concern; have you ruled out foreign bodies under the skin, cancer, eosinophilic plaques, parasites, ringworm and so on? - as these could all be made much worse by lancing them. If it was a spider bite, it could also have further ramifications. Therefore, based on what we can see, we would strongly reccommnd calling your vets for triage.
