Going to the doctor for an abscess?!
Question: I might have an abscess on the side of my toe on both big toes. I really have no clue how this happened but anyways, I'm 14 and going for a physical in about a week. If I tell him about it then, will he be able to drain it right there? or will I have to go to the emergency room? (I'm tlaking about my pediatrician)

He should be able to do it there. Be sure you let him know about it, you could have contracted a staph infection, they can be very VERY dangerous.
go to an urgent care and have all of your questions answered BEFORE you leave the doctor. don't cut your toenails so short in the future.
