ppl will flame me for this but if you drain with needle, the chances of infection are much lower since the doctor will cut your skin open to allow maximum drainage. you, however, are not a qualified medical personnel. the lower chances of infection, the better.
if you have insurance, go to a doc. if not. drain it with a needle and eat antibiotics.
