I need help

I've been pretty busy last couple days, just caught up with this thread, but unfortunately you've already heard from others what I'm about to say...nothing new.

Antibiotic injections will not cure an abscess like that appears to be...it needs surgical intervention by experienced herp vet which I truly hope you find, and soon.
That a vet expected this to "drain" surprises me- snakes have pus that's pretty solid, so any substantial abscess like this can only be fixed with surgery- it won't drain.
Less likely but also possible is some kind of tumor, but I'd put money on "abscess".

It's amazing your snake still eats...that has to be painful and it pains me to see & think about. There really isn't much we can do by forum other than reassure you
of what you're seeing & point you in the right direction...it's not something you alone can cure. So sorry, poor snake.

What part of Indiana? I am in Northwest Indiana. You will have the most luck in Indianapolis or, if you're close enough to the border, heading into Chicago. There are also reptile vets in Lafayette, including Purdue, which is renowned for veterinary science. Depending on where you are located I may be able to help if transport is an issue.

Transport isn’t an issue , having someone know what there doing is , I shouldn’t have been to so many vet visits with nothing new. I’m trying my best .

I was not trying to be offensive, and I apologize if I was. I also did not say that you aren't trying your best. Without knowing which vets you have already tried and where you are located, I'd suggest reaching out to this exotic animal hospital in Indianapolis. Indy is nice because it's pretty centrally located in the state.
