I have an abscess on my arm about the size of quarter how should I care for it without going to the doctor?

should I try to drain it with a needle or let it take care of itself?should I use a cold or warm compress to help the swelling and redness?If I have no symptoms of the flu; fever, aches, fatigue etc. can I let it heal and see what happens in the next few days or should I have it drained by the 14th day if it has not changed?

go see a doctor i had one on my tailbone i could not even sit down. i eventually had to get surgery and it sucked. when you see the doctor he will just lance it .
