I just got an abscess drained and then when another doctor looked at it he said it might be infected but I think it's only scar tissue since wouldn't an infection in the drained abscess hurt?
Abscesses are an accumulation of purulent debris (pus) and are usually the result of an infection. So, if the abscess has been drained and you have been on antibiotics to treat the underlying infection, usually that would treat and/or prevent further infection. However, once an abscess has been opened and drained, it is possible for that open wound to become infected, either with the original bacteria or with a new one. You may not have or notice pain in the area, especially if it has been lanced (opened to drain). So that is not accurate for determining if there is infection. If a doctor said it looked like it might be infected, then the chances are extremely high that it is. Scar tissue would not usually look like an infection, and would also not likely be very visible if you "just got an abscess drained." Trust the doctor in this kind of diagnosis.

Why does an abscess need to be drained?
An abscess needs to be drained to remove the pus buildup, which can be a collection of bacteria and dead tissue. If left untreated, the abscess can continue to grow, causing increased pain, inflammation, and potential spread of infection to surrounding tissues or even into the bloodstream. Draining the abscess helps to promote healing and prevent further complications.
