Let $p$ be a prime and let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. Let $E/K$ be an elliptic curve with additive reduction. In this paper, we study the topological group structure of the set of points of good reduction of $E(K)$. In particular, if $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$ is unramified, we show how one can read off the topological group structure from the Weierstrass coefficients defining $E$.
